The Elastico Soccer Move

The Elastico soccer move is a fancy soccer trick to fake out a defender. Before you attempt the Elastico make sure you can do the Inside to Outside Advanced move multiple times in a row. For tips on how to do that watch my Online Soccer Academy soccer training video called "Soccer Tips -- Inside to Outside Move".

Key Points:

1. Little touch on the inside backside of the ball with outside part of your foot by your toes
2. Quickly move the inside part of your foot to the outside middle part of the ball and push ball the opposite way away from where the defender is moving
3. Drop your shoulder to add to the fake
4. Change pace 

Equipment Needed: Soccer Ball and a cone

Soccer Exercise Player Can Do: 

Start off practicing this move from a standing position. Take little touches and focus on getting the feel for the Elastico. Once comfortable practice from a stand still taking a bigger first touch to really fake the defender. 

Once comfortable doing the Elastico from a standing position set up a cone to be your imaginary defender. Then dribble at the defender, do the Elastico and change pace. Repeat until you are comfortable or tired. The Elastico is an attacking move usually done at a slower pace so don't go to fast. 

What Player Could Be Doing Wrong: 

If you are not able to get your foot around the ball in time to push it back inside it is because your touch is to big and your foot position on the ball is on the forward part of the ball. Make sure your foot is on the back part of the ball so you can quickly get it to the other side.

Make sure you don't take too big of a touch on the outside touch, it's more of a small push then a kick, so don't kick it.
