How to dribble?
1.Make contact with the ball.
Each time you make contact with the ball is referred to as a ‘touch’. Using gentle touches often will allow you to get control over the ball’s movement and will help to advance your skill quickly.
2. Use multiple areas of your feet.
As you practise, you will learn to use multiple areas of your feet to control the ball in different ways. The inside and outside of your feet are used to help you control the direction, turn the ball around and cut around defenders. The top or laces of your foot are used to push the ball forward with speed as you’re running. The sole of your foot is used to stop the ball from sharp turns and faking out an opposing player.
3. Point your toes down.
When dribbling, the key is to point your toes down and keep your ankle locked as you move, pushing off the ground with your supporting foot to help you gain distance. Ensure you maintain an athletic position, with your knees slightly bent, landing on the ball of your foot each time for better speed and agility.
4. Keep the ball close.
By keeping the ball close, you will have greater control when passing it back and forth between the insides of your feet and it will put you in a good position to change direction faster if needed. Keeping the ball close will also make it harder for defenders to intercept the ball.
5. Move with the same foot forward.
Leading the ball with the edge of the same foot will help you keep the ball close at all times as you’re running downfield, giving you the most speed and balance.
6. Keep the ball in your peripheral vision.
At first, you may use most of your field of vision as you’re developing your dribbling skills, however, as you practise you should try to keep the ball in the bottom of your peripheral vision. This will help you maintain awareness of the rest of the field, helping you to more easily see holes in defences, open teammates to pass to and the best scoring positions.
