A BASIC INTRODUCTION

During Euro 2000 one of the key issues that separated the better players from the rest was their ability to control the ball (to advantage) however, or whenever it came to them.

That first touch on the ball is crucial, it can mean the difference between keeping the ball and losing it. So we have decided to prioritise this skill in this new series of coaching tips. Some things may look simple – in fact none are!!
Work at these practices and your technique should improve, and this will make the game more enjoyable.

So our starting point involves dealing with the ball as it comes to you.
