Football Basics and Kicking
Part of: Football skills
Two elevens contest goals with feet, head and body; only the keeper uses hands. Inside-foot kicks plant the other foot 6-8 inches by the ball, lock toes outward, strike centre-back, and stretch pair rallies from 3 to 7 metres.
Why it matters. Clean kicks start attacks.
Try it in two minutes
- Plant foot by ball.
- Lock toes outward.
- Stretch rally metres.
Try at home. Tap a soft ball inside-foot.
Receiving Rolling Trapping
Part of: Football skills
Receive by cushioning inside-foot with the foot drawn back; strike rolling balls as they enter stride with foot parallel. Trap in 30-inch boxes from 5-metre rolls, aiming five of six, with three rolling and three bouncing chances.
Why it matters. First touch decides plays.
Try it in two minutes
- Cushion the arrival.
- Strike in stride.
- Trap inside boxes.

Dribble Feint Accuracy Air
Part of: Football skills
Dribble close with both feet and head up; feint one way then burst the other. Accuracy rings pay five for cone hits, three inner, one outer; stump volleys and 5-7 m short plus 15 m long relay passes sharpen range.
Why it matters. Tricks plus aim beat blocks.
Try it in two minutes
- Touch short, gentle.
- Feint, then burst.
- Aim rings, stumps.
Try at home. Weave past three cones.

Why it matters. Defence starts attacks.
Try it in two minutes
