KICKING /
PASSING / 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 #179 -
#181 – Kicking / Passing / Traps
A
primary goal for an advanced soccer player should be developing the ability to
take a ball out of the air. The process
of gaining control of an air ball is called a Trap.
Kicking
a ball out of the air (bouncing or otherwise) is a Volley.
A
Trap combined with a Volley is a huge goal scoring weapon. Volleys generate significantly more power and
velocity than striking a ball off the ground.
Watch
goal scoring highlights from any of the premiere soccer leagues and you will
routinely see trap volley’s resulting in goals.
Chest
Trap + Volley = Goal
Thigh
Trap + Volley = Goal
As
one example, James Rodriguez scored the greatest goal of the 2014 World Cup off
a trap + volley.
The
trap + volley is a complicated skill, difficult to learn, and demands perfect
technique. In particular, trapping an
air ball that is high in the air and coming from a long distance away (medium/long
distance trap) is especially difficult.
Despite its
complexity, youth players can learn this technique. This
ability is a huge advantage in youth soccer and worth investing the time to
learn.
