Default Ball Control and Composure

Hi All,

I find my players struggle at times when recieving the ball as they panic and lack composure to play the ball on reciept.

Can anyone reccomend any particular drills that would improve this? They are Under 10's and i have done alot of passing and recieving with one particular player just swiping at the ball no matter what we try.

Any help given would be recieved gratefully!

I would say "confidence" with the ball is going to be their best thing to get over that panic feeling, unfortunately that just comes with time.

Just keep reassuring them to stay calm while dribbling the ball....

king of the ring, killer whale, bullring etc

setup a circle everyone has a ball, players have to kick out the other players balls...dont make it too competitive until they re old enough to deal with it so tell them to come back in as soon as they get kicked out.

killer whale same setup but 1 defender runs about trying to kick out everyones ball.

bullring same setup but player that gets kicked out becomes defender until 1 person left.

barcelona kids play these games to gain confidence on the ball...fun too!
