We believe being able to dribble and shield the ball is perhaps the most important soccer skill. Our players will have a lot more confidence and will play with more enthusiasm if they know they can dribble and protect the ball (phrased differently, a player can't be confident with the ball unless he or she can dribble in a crowd and protect the ball when under pressure).

The Dribble Across A Square Technique is one of the ways we teach control dribbling, speed dribbling and turns and we strongly recommend our players play it 3 times to start every practice.

The Shoulder Tackle & Strength Technique" and "Attack & Defend Ball Techniques are also emphasized as great ways we teach shielding and strength on the ball. There are a few others techniques we use to teach dribbling, such as "Dribble Around A Cone & Pass Relay Race" etc.
