Ball Protection

23rd October

Learn how to keep the ball at the furthest part away from the opposition to keep possession.

You'll need a small playing area, an object to be the defender and some items to make a small area like t shirts if you don't have any cones. 

Learn how to

  • Use your whole foot - in step, sole, outstep even boot laces to protect the ball
  • Hide the ball at the furthest part away from the defender
  • Use the ball to move away from the defender

Then practice your skills against a family member, friend or pet and see how long you can keep the ball from them!
