Description

The Drag Push Feint

While looking at the opponent, drag the ball on one side using the inside of the foot
Then use the outside of the same foot to move it quickly to the opposite side
Move the ball beyond the opponent and accelerate

Rules

Players with the ball perform ball possession moving inside their area
Players without the ball move inside the whole playing area and put a light pressure on the players with the ball
To the coach's signal players with the ball pass it to a defender (in the picture, A passes to B)
Repeat the sequence

Variations

Defenders can perform an active defense trying to recover the ball
