4 Dribbling skills and Trapping on your own:
Students dribble until say "trap" where they then trap the ball with their foot
Use a controlled tap with inside (sweet spot) of foot
Tap ball no longer than 2-3 feet
Trap ball by stopping ball by placing foot on top of ball - do this within 2 secs

Line students up on Black line and then a line 15' or so feet away
Use inside of foot to pass ball to partner some 15 feet away or so.
Trap with inside of foot

Keep sole // with ground.
Knee is over/forward of the ball when making contact

4 Outside of the foot Pass (Flick Pass) with partner using outside of the foot with trap:
continue to keep students at the black line with partner at 15' who does and inside-the-foot trap then passing back.
Contact with ball outside of foot between laces and sole-line
