Use in practice
One foot stays anchored while the other follows a curved pivot path.

Set up

Start stationary holding the ball. Choose one foot as your pivot foot.

Run the drill

  1. Keep the pivot foot at its spot while stepping around with the other foot.
  2. Hold the ball close enough to control as you turn to a new passing angle.
  3. Reset your stance and practice with the other pivot foot.

Make it easier

Rehearse a small quarter-turn without the ball.

Add a challenge

Add a pass fake after each turn while keeping the pivot fixed.
