TRAPS
++++++++++
The
best thing a developing soccer player can do is develop dominant ball skills
needed to master the 1v1 (one verses one) game.
This
means getting thousands of touches on the ball to develop deep comfort and
control with all parts of the body and feet.
This also means mastering specific skills to keep the ball away from an
opponent, move the ball around an opponent, and take the ball away from an
opponent. As a player grows up,
dominant ball skills provide the best foundation for developing dominant
passing skills.
Younger
players can work through each move and skip those which are too difficult. Older players can work through each move and
spend time mastering those which are weak or missing from their game.
Moves #145 -
#149 – Traps
A
primary goal for an advanced soccer player should be developing the ability to take
a ball out of the air and bring it down to the ground as quickly as possible. Soccer is best played on the ground - this is
where you have the most control and where you can move the fastest with the
ball.
Effectively
dealing with a ball in the air has two components. First, you want to gain control of the
ball. Second, you want to bring it to
the ground.
The process of
gaining control of an air ball is called a Trap.
Trapping
a ball out of the air is a complicated skill, one of the hardest to learn, and
demands perfect technique. Trapping
an air ball is also one of the most under practiced skills even at the advanced
levels into high school and collegiate levels.
Most
youth players don’t deal well with air balls.
Typically youth players run away from air balls and let it bounce. Others will stick a random body part in front
of the ball and hope for the best.
Neither of these techniques are very effective.
But
imagine if you knew exactly what to do with air ball. Imagine if while everyone else is running
away from an air ball, you are running towards it to trap it and bring it under
control.
Despite its
complexity, youth players can learn to trap an air ball. The
ability is a huge advantage in youth soccer and worth investing the time to
learn.
Take your time, repeat it often, and practice this move over and over.
