Hi, I'm Jyler Noviello, and I'm going to teach you how to perform a slide tackle in soccer. A slide tackle in soccer, can be used by any player on the field, but the most common place where a slide tackle would be performed, would be by the defenders slide tackling the opposing forwards, keeping them from scoring. Slide tackles can be formed a couple of different ways. There's actually a legal way, and an illegal way to slide tackle. The legal way to slide tackle would be to come in and get the ball, with your foot, with your cleats facing the other way, and not towards the ball, in tackling the ball, and not the opponent. Now, an illegal way to slide tackle the ball, would be come in with your studs up like this, at the ball or at the defender. This is illegal because it can be very dangerous. As if you catch one of the other players with your cleats slide tackling, you could injure them severely. Those are the two different ways to perform slide tackles.
