Instructions

1. 

   Place your left foot in front of the soccer ball, with the back of your heel snug against the front of the ball. Your foot should be flat on the ground.

2. Use your right foot to roll the ball up the back of your left heel and calf while leaning forward.

3. Kick the ball into the air with your left heel. The ball should form an arc over your head and land in front of you.

4. Catch up with the ball and continue dribbling, or take the opportunity for a shot on goal or strategic pass to a team mate.

Tips & Warnings

• The further you lean forward while preparing to kick the ball up with your heel, the further above your head the ball will go.
