Hi All,

Just wanted to post what I have personally found to be one of the most effective Ball Control drills. http://www.coachzone.com.au/drills/technical/fundamentals/ I have used this drill constantly at club level as a coach of Juniors to Seniors (varying levels), and adapted the actual drill from my time playing in Germany (this was typically a drill we did the day after a match, or, if the trainer wanted us to work hard on the Tues/Wed). While I say Ball Control, the exercise itself does have quite a broad application, but let's deal just with Ball Control.

I will be updating it to include Directional Control. Also a youtube video from Zidane talking about Ball Control. Quite possibly my favourite video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V09eL_Cjl48

Enjoy
