› Your students can practice their close touches with the ball, by tapping the ball side to side, whilst moving left to right and back.

› Step over the ball WITHOUT TOUCHING it. Then, dribble up to the cone, step-over, then dribble to the next one...Can also be done as a relay or practice drill <br/>

› Have your students practice at a cone dragging the ball back with 1 foot, then taking a touch to dribble on - A great and effective skill to practice at school and on the field.

Using different parts of your foot to control the ball, dribble from cone to cone, trapping it at each cone. Then do a skill move (chosen by the teacher) at the end, then dribble back as fast as you can

In this lesson, I’m joined by EJ and Abel to practice our close control ball skills, ideal for your backyard or local park :) The tasks are perfect for kindergarten through to middle grade students

› Dribble the ball with control - when it gets too far away from you, TRAP it using the underneath part of your foot, then continue dribbling again, using small touchesto keep it close to you<br/>
