How To Control a Ball Out of the Air Off the Bounce
Improve your touch with this ball control tutorial!
Key Points:
1 - Get in Position.
2 - Bend your knee.
3 - Foot over and angled.
4 - Lock your ankle.
5 - Let the ball bounce!
6 - Give it a push.
7 - Accelerate!
Exercise to Practice:
Start off without the ball to get use to how this touch will feel. Break it down into steps. Step one, toss up an imaginary ball about head height. Step two, get into position as you imagine that ball starts to come down. Step three, move your foot over the ball. Step four, let it bounce and take your touch into space like a champ. Do this a few times.
Once comfortable, get the ball out. Start off with the ball in your hands and toss it up about head height then control it off the bounce and accelerate. Do a few reps.
As you feel more confident start to challenge yourself. Throw the ball higher and try this touch from juggling. Also practice taking your touch in different directions, not just to your left.
What’s Wrong:
If the ball keeps bouncing up past your foot before you can take a touch, you are not getting your foot into position quick enough.
Bonus Tip:
If you are on a terrible, rocky bumpy, dry as a desert field then I advise not letting the ball bounce before you take your touch.
