Ball Control Fundamentals

Ball control is the cornerstone of every football player's skill set. To improve, dedicate 20 minutes daily to focused exercises. Start with cone dribbling—set up 10 cones in a zigzag pattern and dribble through them, alternating feet. Repeat this drill at least 10 times per session to build precision and agility. Wall passes are another critical exercise. Stand about 3-4 meters from a sturdy wall and pass the ball against it 50 times, using both your dominant and non-dominant foot. This helps improve touch, reaction time, and passing accuracy. For juggling, aim for at least 100 consecutive touches with your feet, thighs, and head. Start small with 10-minute sessions and gradually increase the difficulty by limiting yourself to fewer body parts or increasing the juggling count. Regular practice over 4-6 weeks will show noticeable improvements in your ball control and confidence on the field.
