4 Ball Mastery Drills & How to Structure a Ball Mastery Session - Pure Training Audio

Ball Mastery can be done with around a small group of cones either in a line or small triangle, OR it can be done in Space. Both can be effective, but I would prefer the later of the two. Where we want to use a skill to get back and fourth or up and back the dedicated space.
In this video, we used two skills to suggest a Ball Mastery Session Structure. Where we warm up, get a good feel of the ball, and some skills-first starting with inside the foot and outside the foot touches and into adding skills, almost as a creative freestyle. The object thought should always be realistic. we want to move defenders using skills, so treat it as such.
Moving forward, we Isolate a particular skill we desire to work on. In this example it was, Behind the Ball Step Over into Roll and Reverse Roll Back using the back foot, as well as a Scissor while Jocking (or open Stance).
In Addition, we take those skills we have Isolated and we combine them.
Great for adding in the learning process as it challenges the player to start to set up skills/moves.
Lastly, the goal for us, is to always try and APPLY what we are instructing. In this case, we want to start training these skills and combinations on the move. Certain skills are of course better utilized in a small space and others in a greater space, or on the run. In any case, we applied these two a moment a winger or a attacking midfielder might see more often in a match.
