As a new player I’ve been looking for challenging drills for beginners. This is super helpful but also very challenging.

YOU NEED TO MATSER THESE!

These exercises can be done at home or the field. All you need is a ball and a little bit of space. No extra equipment required. You will get thousands of touches to help improve your confidence with the ball. These basic exercises should be practiced daily for the best results. Once you get comfortable with the exercises, see how fast you can go without losing control. Keep pushing yourself and you’ll be amazed with your progress. Slow motion demonstrations with each exercise included.

Tap the ball back and forth between the insides of both feet. Make sure to keep your knees bent and move your arms with your feet to increase speed. Start slow then get faster once you get comfortable.

Outside/Inside Both Feet

Tap the top of the ball with the soles of your feet. Alternating from your right and left foot. While tapping the ball, move the ball forwards and backwards so you are not just standing still.

Sole Taps Going Forward/Backward

Roll the ball with the right and left sole of your foot. Keep alternating.

Pull to Croqueta

With your right foot, pull the ball behind your left leg and tap the ball with the inside of your right foot forwards so you can repeat with the left.

L-Turns

Here is a challenge from all the footwork you learned! Start with a L-Turn, roll the ball back to the same foot you did the L-Turn, then tap the ball back towards the opposite foot that didn’t make the L-Turn. Keep repeating the motion and see how fast you can go without losing control.
