    How do I know whether to use my right and left foot?
    Thao Huynh
    Community Answer
    You should use whichever foot is your dominant foot. To find out whether you can use both of your feet, kick the ball as hard as you can with both feet. If the ball goes in the direction you want with both feet, then you could alternate between the two.
  • Question
    Should the ball be more or less pumped up?
    Community Answer
    It does not really matter, but you shouldn't use a flat ball, because if you do, you are likely to get a bad kick. Most players prefers a fully inflated ball though.

    ZAYDEEP RAJ
    Community Answer
    If you attempt a rabona and the ball stays too low, try adjusting your approach to ensure correct foot positioning, focus on the contact point to strike the ball for better lift, use more power for a stronger follow-through, and practice consistently to improve your technique.
  • Question
    How can I combine a rabona with a step-over?
    ZAYDEEP RAJ
    Community Answer
    To combine a rabona with a step-over, start by approaching the ball with your dominant foot next to it and your non-dominant foot slightly behind. Begin a step-over by faking a kick with your dominant foot, swinging it around the back of your non-dominant foot. As your non-dominant foot comes back down, use it to perform a rabona by kicking the ball with the inside of your non-dominant foot while your dominant foot swings behind it. Keep your head up and maintain balance. Practice slowly at first, and gradually increase speed as you get comfortable.
  • Question
    What is a reverse rabona?
    ZAYDEEP RAJ
    Community Answer
    The reverse rabona is a soccer skill similar to the regular rabona, but it involves kicking the ball with the opposite foot and wrapping your dominant foot around the back of your non-dominant foot. Here's how to execute it: Approach the ball with a moderate pace, swing your dominant foot behind your non-dominant foot and around the ball, make contact with the inside of your dominant foot, cross your non-dominant foot behind, lift it off the ground, and strike the ball towards your target. Practice slowly and focus on foot positioning before increasing speed. It’s an advanced move that requires practice to master and can surprise defenders, creating scoring opportunities.
