The "Ice" is an advanced soccer skill, designed to freeze the defender, while quickly moving the ball away and past him.
As the ball is moving forward, place the outside foot over the ball. Then swing the second foot between the plant foot and the ball, plant, and quickly kick the ball using the heel of the first plant foot – quickly moving past the defender as he freezes while the ball changes directions. Planting both feet over the ball creates a "hop" that should tell the defender the ball is going the same direction, while the heel knocks the ball the opposite direction. When executed with speed and skill, this move is very elusive.
Benefits of the Ice: Attacker rapidly moves to the other side of the defender, moving the ball away from the defender, while freezing him.
Ice Notes: Don’t lean back or stand too upright when performing the Ice soccer skill. It must be performed quickly and with a sudden burst of speed to go past the defender.
