How to improve ball handling.
DRILL
Single foot
Out-out-in
This is a single foot drill that is performed by using a three touch combination. Touch with the outside outside then inside of the foot.
This is a combination that can be used to find open space or create an angle to find a team mate.
Create an area 2 yards x 2 yards for beginning players. The area should be smaller for players with a better skill set. Challenge yourself to make quality touches in a small area.
Start the drill with a set amount to complete (20, 50, 100) in order to get accustomed to the movement. Once complete switch to the other foot.
Later set a time limit to complete as many as possible (30 sec, 1 min, 2 min). Work toward increasing you number of quality touches each time. Once completed switch to the other foot and continue.
You should display control of the ball in a small area. Working toward overall foot speed, control and field vision.
A progression to this drill is to take 5 touches then turn to the right. Continue until you complete the square. Then take 5 touches and turn to the left, until you complete the square.
