How to improve ball handling.
DRILL
Single foot roll in and out
This is a great drill that gives you the opportunity to get touches using the sole of your foot. Controlling the ball by moving it inside and outside.
This drill is performed by balancing on one foot while using the other to foot to roll the ball inside and outside using the sole repeatedly.
It can later be used in a combination to change direction or change speed in order to find open space.
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.
