    This is a fairly simple site, but contains animated images that demonstrate 15 different trick moves. Young players can watch the move over and over until they learn the move.

Strong Soccer.com 
    Another good site with video clips of trick moves and fakes kids can use to improve their ability to beat defenders one on one. The clips are short and can be played over and over again. They are a great way for young players to learn the proper technique for some pretty impressive moves.
