How to Control a Soccer Ball

1. Positioning: Anticipate the ball’s trajectory and position your body behind it. 2. Focus: Keep your eyes on the ball to gauge its speed and trajectory accurately. 3. Technique: Keep your foot relaxed and lower to the ground. This will help cushion the impact of the ball. Use the top of your toes to cushion the ball effectively. 4. Balance: Keep your non-kicking foot planted and maintain balance throughout. 5. Practice: Start with simple lobs using your hands and gradually increase difficulty by kicking the ball higher.
