Coaching Points
- Use the outside of the foot, between the middle of your foot and just before your big toe and little toe when dribbling
- Keep foot flat and off the floor, enough to touch the middle of the ball
- Perform lots of quick touches try to complete a touch each time you take a step
- Use the outside of the foot to push the ball the opposite way from the direction you are dribbling
- Touches should be light yet controlled and away from pressure
- Stay on toes and head up, yet keeping the ball at the bottom of your peripheral vision
- Drop your shoulder and shift your weight on to your back foot as you perform the turn
Progression Ideas
- Increase the speed of the dribble, this will come with practice
- Perform the dribble component with both the inside and outside of the foot
- Perform the turn with your weaker foot as well
- Finish with a controlled pass or shot
- Work against a friend and or set a time to complete the drill
