Heel flick

Trap the ball between your heels and flick it up behind you. The building block of the rainbow flick.

Beta: we're less sure how well one camera can judge this move, so treat the scores as a rough guide.

Set up your camera

Phone side-on to you, about 4 metres away at hip height, so you move across the picture. Keep the ball in the picture too.

Your whole body, head to feet, needs to be in the picture. The coach will remind you if it can't see you.

How to do it

  1. 1Trap the ball between your heels.

  3. 3Lean forward and snap your heels up behind you.
  4. 4Flick the ball high, up and over your head.
  5. 5Watch it land in front of you and control it.

What the coach watches for

  • Flick it higher

    The flick was low. Snap your heel up harder so the ball loops over you.

  • Lean forward

    You leaned back. Lean forward so the ball goes up and over, not into your back.
