  2. 2
    Place your left heel on the front of the ball, and keep your foot on the ground.
  3. 3
    Position the top of your right foot on the back of the ball so that just your toes are touching the ground.
  4. 4
    Roll the ball 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6 cm) up your left heel with your right foot.
  5. 5
    Lean forward so all your weight is on your left foot.
  6. 6
    Flick your left heel up quickly with force as you lean forward. Your momentum and the heel flick sends the ball over the back of your head so that it lands in front of you, hence the "rainbow kick."
  7. 7
    Take a step forward to regain control of the ball

Tips
Provide Details.
Please be as detailed as possible in your explanation. Don't worry about formatting! We'll take care of it. For example:
Don't say: Eat more fats.
Do say: Add fats with some nutritional value to the foods you already eat. Try olive oil, butter, avocado, and mayonnaise.

Tips

  • Flick your heel with force. When you initiate contact with power, the ball is more likely to go up and over you.
  • Repetition is key to this move, you have to get a feel
  • When doing the rainbow, make sure you lean forward and put weight on your foot in front of the ball. This will help it to go over.
  • for how high you need to roll the ball up your heel.

Warnings

  • Avoid the temptation to practice the rainbow kick inside. It's somewhat of an erratic maneuver.

Things You'll Need

  • soccer ball
  • outdoors space
