Dribbling 2.0 - Week 7 | Day 1

Definition

Dribbling is when a player repeatedly touches the ball with their feet while walking or running to move it in the direction they want it to go.

Skill

Small touches: keep the ball close and take tiny touches to have control of the ball. 

Coaching Points

1. Use the Sweet Spot of your foot

2. When to use the move:

  • In a tight space

  • Shielding the ball: when someone is trying to steal the ball from you

Advanced

Change Directions: Fake a kick with one foot. Use the inside of that foot to push the ball behind the planted non-kicking foot and change directions.
