Ball Control

Being able to stop the ball dead with your first touch is an essential skill for every football player.

If the ball rolls away when you receive it, there is a high chance that the opponent will take possession of the ball.

⚽️

A good way to learn how to control the ball is by using a wall.

Gently kick the ball straight at the wall so that it rolls back towards your feet, and stop the ball dead.

Once you have mastered this, you can increase the distance, increase the power of your kick, increase the speed, or raise the height of the ball.

How to Perform the First Touch

To stop the ball, you use your foot to touch the ball and cushion it with your foot.

There are several ways to stop the ball. One way is to touch the ball with the top of your foot, just below the centre of the ball.

⚽️

You can also use the side of your foot to control the ball, while pulling the ball towards you.

⚽️

Throw the ball up and try to stop it dead with your first touch.

Once you have this under control, you can start training with someone else. If someone kicks a high ball towards you, it will arrive with a different trajectory and speed. Keep practising so that you can also control high balls with your first touch during a match and have good ball control for your next action.
