Ball control

A lot of beginners struggle with controlling the ball. You can start teaching your child this skill by watching a soccer tutorial, but you'll probably have to take it slow and work through each technique one by one. When you begin learning the ball control skills, try to keep the ball near the bottom of your peripheral vision, as this will help you maintain a general awareness of the entire field. This will allow you to spot teammates, gaps in the defense, scoring positions, and other issues.


Agility

While there are many skills that make a good soccer player, agility is unique to this sport. While agility is an essential attribute for soccer players it isn't easy to define. Here are the top attributes of soccer players who can be agile. Offensive players need agility because they must change their direction often.

A skilled soccer player can control the ball by lightly kicking it and then running with it at his or her feet. This skill is a fundamental part of the game and should be mastered early on.

Passing

Passing in soccer involves transferring the ball quickly between teammates, keeping it out of the hands and putting the ball in the best position to score. The "inside the foot" pass is the basic one in soccer. This is what younger players are taught. It is also the easiest to learn, since it requires little leg strength and is effective over short distances. Push pass requires more leg strength but provides greater control.
