Great football Dribbling

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

dribblingAnyone who is just starting out playing soccer playing soccer mustcomprehend how important it is to develop good dribbling talents. With good dribbling abilities, you’ll be able to control the ball easily and you can easily direct it to anywhere you want it to go. If you may watch how some of the finest players play, you may notice that the majority of them are great dribblers.

To be blunt about it, if you won’t develop your dribbling abilities then there’s very little risk that you’re going to be a great soccer player. If you need to improve your dribbling abilities, the smartest thing that you can do is to practice soccer dribbling drills on a constant basis. Like in other types of soccer drills, dribbling drills instill the mandatory basic movements for a player to dribble the ball well. If you would like to know more about the way to develop soccer dribbling drills, then it’s best that you read thru this article.

Concepts to Remember

There are some vital things that you need to recollect when you do soccer dribbling skills. First off, you need to use all bits of your foot – the interior – when doing the drills to develop your entire foot. If you may watch good dribblers, you may notice that they can switch to different areas of their foot when dribbling.

Another thing that you should remember when doing dribbling practice is to maintain the ball at a certain distance from your foot, ideally at a little over one meter from you. This is to simulate a usual situation in a genuine game where you will typically see yourself squeezing between players with tiny space to work on. Dribbling the ball close to you will permit you to develop the facility to pass by a number of opponents without losing possession of the ball.

The Shoulder Tackle

Friday, May 15th, 2009

There are many ways of stopping a ball carrier. However, the fundamental one, the one you should concentrate on developing, is making good, solid contact with either one of your shoulders in the area above the mid-point of the ball carrier’s thigh.

1. Immediately before you contact the ball carrier, have your body in a crouched, coiled position. Do this by having a good bend in your knees and your hips. As body contact is made, your feet must be well-spread, your toes pointing forward. Keep the weight of your body evenly balanced on the balls of your feet. You must have your entire body under complete control. Then, you can change your movement in any way necessary without losing any of your power.

2. Keep your eyes directed toward the ball carrier’s mid-section, right on his belt buckle. This part is the easiest for your eyes to follow as it is the center of his body and it makes a steady target. If you have your eyes on some other part of his body, a quick side step by the ball carrier can fool you into moving the wrong way.

3. Contact is best made somewhere above the mid-point of the opponent’s thigh. Your head immediately slides to the side opposite the shoulder used in the tackle. If you use your right shoulder, your head goes to the left. Using your left shoulder, your head goes to the right.

4. In making contact with your opponent, come out of your crouched position with a snapping spring-like action. Direct an upward driving force into your opponent with your shoulder by straightening your knees and pushing hard off your toes. As contact is made, your shoulder should be going into your opponent at an upward angle.

5. At the same instant, wrap your arms around your opponent’s legs. With your right hand grasp your left wrist or left forearm. You can also reverse this by using your left hand to grasp your right wrist or right forearm.

6. As the shoulder makes contact and the arms go around the opponent’s legs, you have a double action. Your shoulder is pushing the upper part of the opponent’s body backwards. Your arms are pulling his legs out from under him.

This double action, working in opposite directions, destroys the ball carrier’s balance and down he goes!

7. Sometimes it is more effective to aim your shoulder for the area slightly above the opponent’s knees. This is a good idea when your opponent is unusually tall and strong. On still other occasions, you make a low tackle, going for your opponent’s legs below his knees.

8. When making your tackle from either side of the ball carrier, rather than head-on, try to get as much of the upper part of your body, particularly your chest, directly in front of your opponent. This will help slow or stop his forward progress. At the same instant, you grasp his legs with your arms to pull his feet out from under him.
