Get the ball in front of you. Swing one foot around the ball, from inside to outside.

Step 2
Lean to the left if you use your left foot. Or lean to the right if you use your right foot.

Step 3
Use your other foot to knock the ball past your opponent. You usually knock the ball with the outside of your foot. So if you did step 1 with your right foot, you knock the ball left past your opponent with the outside of your left foot.

Step 4
Dribble away.

Tips and Advices

Practice the Stepover with both feet. That's makes you more versatile and harder to defend.

Step 2 is very important. It will cause your opponent to loose balance. Don't skip this step.

Practice the Stepover with a stationary ball first. Once you get the hang of it, start with a slow dribble. Then move on to a regular dribble.

Every now and then, repeat step 1 with your other foot before moving on to the next few steps. This is like a Scissor.
