Controlling the ball

This is an important skill because during a game, you’ll have to be confident in your ability to play the ball with different parts of your body. This skill helps you increase your ability to efficiently complete quicker actions with the ball.

Tips to improve in training:

• Be aware of your planted foot. Hop around on your foot that is not toughing the ball to train your balance.
• Stay on the balls of your feet and in a ready (athletic) position when about to control the ball.
• Use both feet so you can move the ball in any direction you choose.
• Practice ball control a lot. Train your control until you can't  get it wrong.
