DRILL
Single foot in and out.
This a single foot drill that uses the Inside and outside of the foot. It creates an opportunity to use your balance in order to control the ball using one foot.
Perform this drill by balancing on one foot as you touch the ball with the inside the outside of the other foot repeatedly.
This is a basic touch that can be used to quickly change direction and avoid defenders.
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) or set a time limit to complete as many as possible (30 sec, 1 min, 2 min). Once completed then switch to the other foot.
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.
