Below are various different training videos and exercises you can watch and have a go at to help you develop your footballing skills. These will change regularly so keep your eyes open for new things.
Learning the Cruyff turn
Johan Cruyff was a brilliant footballer from The Netherlands who played his club football mainly at Ajax and Barcelona. Not only could he glide past some of the world's greatest defenders as if they weren't there but he also produced some magical moves when in a tight corner including 'The Cruyff turn' which is one of the most simple and yet most effective ways of leaving a defender facing the wrong way.
Have a look at how it is done and see if you can learn how to do it.
Learning the Maradona turn
Diego Maradona - arguably one of the most talented footballers of his generation - created a fabulous turn to get you out of trouble when defenders are coming at you. When executed perfectly, it will make you look a million dollars.
Have a look at it, learn it and show it off at next week's training.
