Toe Bounce Around the World

I call this trick the Step Over Toe Pop. If there is an official name for it like Scorpion eater, cactus jack or the Snowball let me know so I can change the name of the video! 

The Step Over Toe Pop is a fun way to challenge your skills and show off in front of your friends at training. You probably will never do this in a game. 

Key Points:

1. Have the ball it your toe for a normal toe pop on your non dominant foot. 
2. As the ball is falling closer to your toe bring your dominant foot around the top of the ball to end up on the outside of your non dominant foot. It doesn't touch the ground; it stays in the air to be ready to juggle.
3. As the ball bounces off your toe start juggling with your dominant foot.
4. The ball should have backspin on it as it hits your toe, this helps keep it close to your body. 

Exercise Player Can Do: 

Practice the motion of this trick first to get your body use to the technique. Then start with the ball in your hands and practice the timing of the ball coming down out of the air. So without doing the toe pop part of the trick, toss the ball in the air with no backspin, bring your dominant foot around the ball as it's falling, then start juggling after it bounces off the ground. 

Once you have the timing down using your hands, start juggling and do the Step Over Toe Pop trick from juggling with your feet! Repeat until you master it or are tired. 

What Player Could Be Doing Wrong: 

If you are having trouble with the toe pop part of this trick then make sure you first master the regular toe pop by watching my Online Soccer Academy training video titled "Tricks of Soccer -- Toe Pop". That will solve your toe pop problems and tell you what you are doing wrong. 

If you are kicking the ball away when you do this trick then you are rushing it. If you do each step of this trick right this trick looks smooth.

Bonus Tip:

Starting out this trick is easier in tennis shoes on concrete because you get a better bounce off your shoe then wearing cleats on grass. If you do this trick in cleats on grass make sure you are not in thick high grass because that will mess up the bounce of the ball and make this trick more difficult.
