Do you want to get better? Do you want to be the best player you can possibly be? If you answered yes, then you need to practice outside of practice. Here are some ball control exercises to help you develop your balance, footwork and overall touch on the ball.

Move of the Week

Every week I will post some video clips of a specific move that I want you to practice at home. I will ask you to show me the move approximately one week later at practice. One of the best ways to get better is by practicing outside of practice. It takes dedication and sacrifice but I know you can do it!


The first move is called the Ronaldo chop. It is used by the Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo. Here are some videos that show you step by step how to do it and then a highlight video of the man himself.

welcome!

Welcome players, parents and fans of BUSA North Red 99. My reason for having this blog is to disseminate information to the players I coach. I will use it mainly to show video clips of soccer moves/goals. I will also use it to remind players of upcoming games they should watch. I have said time and again that watching soccer at a high level is one of the best ways to learn how to play the game.
