There will be a whole lot of freestyle street soccer tricks to find on this website. I chose to incorporate more freestyle tricks than on the field tricks because, not only did I learn how to play soccer on the streets considering how Aruba doesn’t have grass or barely any turf soccer fields, but also because freestyle tricks can also be used on the soccer pitch during a game. Each trick will have a description, so you can learn the trick step by step. Also, there are short videos to every trick for the people who retain better information visually. Good luck practicing your new tricks!
Before we can start with the tricks, it is important to understand the different size soccer balls there are on the market because some people might need to use a different size; it all depends on the person’s preference.Today, soccer balls are hollow spherical object filled with air that’s usually made out of waterproof leather and plastic. Often soccer balls have the shape of a truncated icosahedron, which is a mathematical figure, but before the time of the truncated icosahedron soccer balls were made out of inflated a pig’s bladder heavy brown leather. There are also different sizes to soccer balls. The sizes of soccer balls range from 1-5; one being the smallest and 5 the largest. The size 5 soccer balls are regulation size for field soccer and size 4 for Futsal (indoor), but in freestyle or street soccer that isn’t the case.
