all 11 practice plans in
one go!
Feedback on the above plans from Coachkev:
When asking the kids
to do ball taps, toe juggles, sole rolls etc I always ask them to move
forward in a random way and challenge who can do the most 'Hi Fives' in 30
seconds. This way you can introduce a little competitive real time
movement and the fact that to do the Hi Five successfully they must look
up and start to trust their feet to complete the touches without always
having to look at the ball.
One of the best ball
mastery 'drills' is for the player to learn the sequence:
* Sole roll R/F from
right to left
* As right foot
touches the ground after the sole roll allow the ball to move a ball
length to the left then instant tap back to the right with the inside of
the left foot
* Then instant tap
back to the left with the right foot
Then repeat the
sequence in the opposite direction:-
* Sole roll L/F
from left to right
* As left foot
touches the ground after the sole roll allow the ball to move a ball
length to the right then instant tap back to the left with the inside of
the right foot
* Then instant tap
back to the right with the left foot
The smooth sequence
is
SOLE ROLL, TAP TAP,
SOLE ROLL TAP TAP - and keep repeating it for about 60 secs.
Variation:
After the sole roll
its tap tap then TAKE the ball in the SAME direction using the outside of
the foot which completes the FIRST tap.
This can also be
incorporated into a pairs passing routine with the receiver having to
receive and instantly do the original sequence before the return pass.
