X-over

x-over

X-over is very similar to crossover but the difference is the fact that you don't have to swing your leg over the ball. The soccer trick looks simple at first but difficult once you start to practice. The reason why because this trick challenges your balancing and coordination skills. If you can cope with these two then you have a chance to master this technique relatively ease. Your mind needs to focus on 2 things: 1. cross your standing foot 2. kick it with your stronger foot

Step 1 It's best to start from throwing the ball at your standing or weaker foot.

Step 2 As the ball begins to fall, cross your standing or weaker foot by lifting it over your stronger foot.

Step 3 Then kick the ball with your stronger foot and make sure you get the right contact on the ball i.e center of the ball


Repeat the above steps until you've become familiar with it. Once you've mastered this, you can start do the x-over while juggling the soccer ball.

P.S I shall post the video some time.
