Hi Marcus,

To improve your ball control in football using Sportplan, you can try a variety of sessions and drills specifically designed to enhance first touch, passing accuracy, and dribbling. Here are a few ideas you might find helpful:

First Touch and Dribbling Confidence: This session focuses on making every touch count by improving your first touch and passing awareness. It involves receiving passes under pressure, controlling the ball efficiently, and quickly moving it into space​.

Passing and Control on the Move: This session helps you develop control while running with the ball, ensuring that your touch and passing remain sharp even at pace. It’s great for learning how to cut open defences

Square Drill: A passing and receiving drill where you move within a square, passing the ball along the sides, sprinting to opposite corners, and refining your touch under different conditions​.

I hope this helps,

Cam
