Balancing the ball on your head

This isn't the most practical skill for players to know in a match but it's a great one for showboating. To balance the ball on your head ensure you're balanced to begin with and then place the ball on your head and only release it once it feels stable. The rest of this skill comes from practice - you'll need to move slightly in the opposite direction to the ball to keep it up - and this should become fairly intuitive after a few goes.

Full Football Pitch

extras

Dribble, drive and strike

Players must run through the cones with the ball under control. When they reach the final cone they have one final touch to set the ball and then they must shoot into the far corner. After shooting players collect the other players' ball and then dribble to the back of the other line.

extras

First touch and rebound shot

Player 1 jogs backwards to the far cone and then sprints out to the first cone, ready to receive the pass from player 1. Player 2 must take only one touch to set themselves for their shot on goal. After shooting the first ball player 2 should then run into the box to pounce onto the ball played in by player 3.
