Description
The back heel chop is used as a feint and turn away from an opponent. The players practice with both feet.
The back heel chop can also be used as a “Fake Shot” to commit the defender and then take the ball away from them. The back heel chop is of course not an end in itself, but works to create space for the next action.
Coaching Points for Back Heel Chop
1. Players dribble the ball under control with their right foot and look up to see where the opponent is.
2. The player makes one last big step and plant their standing leg (left) beyond the ball. Their left leg should be slightly twisted outwards because they will soon be turning to that side.
3. The player bends their right knee and lift the left up, covering the ball with the with their right foot back. Then use the inside of the right foot to take the ball away at a 90 degree angle to the left.
