Backheel is a term used to describe a soccer skill where the player uses the heel of their foot to pass, shoot or control the ball. However, there are several synonyms for this term that can be used interchangeably such as "rabo," "rabona," or "heel flick." The "rabo" is a variation of backheel, where the player swings their leg around to make the flick. The "rabona" is also a type of backheel, but where the player crosses their legs and uses their non-dominant foot to flick the ball. Lastly, the "heel flick" is a more general term to describe any flick made with the heel of the foot. These terms are commonly used in soccer to describe different variations of the backheel.
