Skill of The Week: Rabona

Rabona (ie- tricky kick): to cross your dominant foot behind your non-dominant foot and kick the ball.

Here's a great example to set up a goal. Watch close as this right-footed player figures out how to cross with his right foot while dribbling down the left.


Here are some more examples (around 3:33). There is great skill throughout the video, but check out my favorite (the player I used to emulate) Maradona leading the way with the most stylish Rabona.



Definitely something to practice in your next backyard session.
