How to improve ball handling.
DRILL
Sole taps
This is a great drill for beginners using only the sole of both feet. It looks like the player is running in place but with each step the sole of the foot is placed on top of the ball.
Use cones to create an area 2 yards x 2 yards for beginning players. The area should be smaller for players with a better skill set. This drill does not require a lot of space. It can be used to give players extra touches at home or in their room.
The drill can be performed by giving the player a set amount to complete or giving them a time limit to complete as many as possible. It can be used to improve quickness or overall stamina on the ball.
Players should display control of the ball in a small area. Working toward overall foot speed, control and field vision. Make sure that players have quality touches and are balanced over the ball.
