- Movie Clips of Common Soccer Feints - from StrongSoccer.com
- This site provides online movie clips of a nice collection of
soccer fakes and turns (including most of the Coerver moves). In
addition to brief clips of a player executing the move in a practice
session, there are also links to video footage of the use of many of
these moves by soccer legends in game play. (You can view Cruyff and
Maradona, for example, executing the fakes that have been named for
them). This site also provides a sample practice session appropriate
for youth players. Players who begin developing these basic footskills
when they are young develop into much stronger soccer players. At least
a few of these drills should be integrated into practice sessions at
all age groups. Players in grades 5 and above should have some practice
sessions using some of each category of feint. A 20-minute practice session using these moves is provided on this website. A few useful, simple, and fun
soccer drills are also provided on this site.
