L-Drag

What it is

A simple move to break free from an opponent who has blocked you and the ball is now stationary, or a move to reverse direction when being chased

When to use

Can be used at any time, but generally works best when you receive the ball facing forward

Where to use

Anywhere on the field

Steps (for right-footed players)

The setup - Shield the ball with your body with your opponent on your left, make sure your right foot is positioned on top of the ball

The feint - Signal to another player with your arms and voice that you are about to pass to them

The drop - Pull the ball back with your right foot and in the same movement (with the inside of your right foot) push the ball behind your left leg and behind your opponent. Spin around clockwise to free any hold your opponent has on you and chase the ball
