The Half Turn


 

What you need to know

Step One: Place the sole of the foot on the ball. Drag the ball back behind you using the sole of the foot. Spin quickly on the standing foot (like an ice-skater on ice) turning 180 degrees towards the ball.  

 

Step Two: Push the ball far enough (approximately 1 yard) out of your feet to enable you to turn without taking a second touch.   

 

Step Three: The second touch should be to set up a pass, shot or dribble.
