Hi Ayeza,
Footwork can be improved by including agility circuits into your training to ensure players are always on their toes and ready to move. Head to the Sportplan library, where you will find a drill category titled 'Footwork' - there will be lots of drills in here that will help you!
I have attached a great drill that encourages players to drive onto the ball and allows them to focus on their footwork when receiving the ball.
Hope this is helpful!

Driving Onto The Ball
DESCRIPTION
Set up: one third space, one ball between two, cones (one between two). One partner to be standing on the third line with the ball facing the baseline. Other partner starts on the baseline, drives out to cone (about halfway down the third), turns and drives back to the baseline. Turns again and accelerates to partner who is holding the ball. Play should recieve pass before the cone.
