The Around the World Soccer Tutorial

The Around the World


Around the World is probably the most famous and most used soccer trick in soccer freestyle. Around the World, or a variation, should be in every freestyle routine.

Around the World requires some practice, but it's certainly achievable.

Throughout the years, freestylers have come up with numerous variations on the normal Around the World. You can create your own Around the World trick by combining other Around the Worlds.

In this soccer tutorial, I'll explain the normal/basic Around the World.

In Steps


Step 1
Do a Foot Stall.

Step 2
Let the ball roll of the outside of your foot. So if you're right-footed, the ball rolls of the right side of your foot. Try to give the ball some spin by raising your knee when the ball actually rolls of your foot.

Step 3
Try to get your foot as fast as possible around the ball until the ball is on the inside of your foot. While you do this, don't touch the ball. This step gets easier as you give more spin to the ball, but that needs practice.

Step 4
This step is just to end the Around The World. Catch the ball with a Foot Stall. You could also start to juggle the ball.

Tips and Advices

Around the World can be really hard. You need to be able to move your foot very fast, but also very accurate. You can learn these skills by juggling a lot.

Make sure to master the Foot Stall before you start practicing Around The World.
