Trapping the ball!

Notice the internally rotated foot as the the player uses a heavy touch on the ball to sprint past the defender. As he closes in on the 18 yard box and the next defender, the weight of the touch of the ball is softer to keep the pace while maintaining control so as to be able to make a move left or right quickly. In this case, player in the end makes a quick move to his left and finishes with a blistering shot!!!!!!

Our focus is to provide a learning environment that fosters community, imparts soccer knowledge in a practical manner, and inspires these soccer ladies to be more confident in their soccer ability!

Defending: approach the ball small, not tall. Take an angle dictating where you'd like the ball handler to go. Make sure you stay in an athletic stance in front of the ball so that you're ready to sprint in the event your opponent pushes the ball past you.

Don't underestimate the power of the "toe punt!" Here's Coach Briggs explaining its use and value!

There's a few ways to strike the ball. In its simplest form, you're either hitting for power or placement. This is a player I've been working with for close to 10 years. This is a classic power shot - toe down, head down, ball struck with the laces. If you look closely, you will see the ball was struck with so much power that it went through the net!
