The Samba: Open Body Touch to L-Drag & Sole Roll

Receive the rebound with an open-body inside touch across the cone, perform an L-drag behind the standing leg with that same foot, and immediately follow with an opposite foot sole roll.

Key points

  • Open hip angle on the first touch to push the ball laterally past the cone
  • Execute an L-drag behind the support leg with that identical receiving foot
  • Smoothly roll the ball completely across with the sole of the opposite foot to set up the next pass

Common mistakes

Hesitating between the L-drag and the sole roll, breaking the rhythmic fluid cadence of the combo.
