Crossover

The Crossover is a soccer freestyle trick. It's not very hard to learn and that's why the Crossover is added to a lot of freestyle routines.

The Crossover looks a bit like Around the World. It's convenient to learn these two after each other.

The Crossover requires balance, ball control and first touch. All of these can be trained through juggling.

You generally use the Crossover to switch feet while juggling. That's why it's best to master the Crossover with both feet.
