Shuffle Slide Behind Turn 90° Roll Out Slide In Both Feet - Fast Footwork Drills for U10-U11

Tutorial

This drill builds on the Roll Out Slide Behind Turn 90° (Static Ball Control Drills for U10-U11). This time the player has to incorporate shuffles and has to count differently on alternating turns (6-5-6-5-...) in order to use both feet. The player has to focus on counting in order to turn to the right direction and therefore has to rely on the new acquired automatisms.
