Individual skills[edit]
Example of individual skill:Brazilian striker Pele moving at speed under pressure, lets a pass run past
his opponent, circling around to shoot first time on the other side for a near miss. Official FIFA Technical
Reports called the move"audaciously executed, and called for immense skill, timing, judgment and
speed."[3]
The importance of a skill depends to an extent on the player's position on the field.
Overall, football skills can be divided into four main areas, namely outfield technical,
physical, mental and goalkeeping technical abilities.

Section 4: Basic Skills -
Receiving, Passing and Shooting
This series,Coaching Fundamentals,is designed to introduce volunteer and youth coaches tothe basics of coaching soccer. You can find a small number of soccer exercises that may be
used to train players in both techniques and tactics on ourSoccer Drills page.
Introduction
The next session is an examination of other basic soccer skills. If players can't pass and catch
the ball in basketball, they can't play the game. If they can't pass and receive the ball in soccer,
they will not be successful. These two important skills, combined with shooting at goal, are
featured in this section. It should be emphasized that these skills are critical to be successful.
Repetition of these skills is the key to learning and mastering them.
Technique
In the basic skills of soccer, an important term is technique, which is the physical movement
involved in those skills. Practicing the skills is called technical training." Players practice
technique throughout their lives, but correct technique practice is essential for players age 6-12
while they are in developmental stages.
The coach of developing players should heavily emphasize technical training while also having
a basic understanding of correct technical execution. This can be accomplished using a
repertoire of conditioned games to teach techniques in a manner that provides plenty of
repetition.

Receiving
Receiving a ball on the ground is different than receiving a ball in the air. When receiving a ball
on the ground, the following points should be considered:
Keep your eye on the ball.
Choose which foot to receive the ball with (this may depend on the location of the
defender).
Receive the ball with one foot with the toe pointed up (ankle locked).
Dont stop the ball. Instead, prepare it for the next action: shot, dribble, pass or to play
away from pressure.
Receiving the ball in the air is a skill that involves six major phases:
Keeping your eye on the ball.
Reading the flight, speed and direction of the ball.
Deciding which body part will control the ball (foot, thigh, chest or head).
Getting the body in line with the direction of the ball.
Preparing to receive the ball by presenting the body part to the ball.
Cushioning the ball with the body part to slow it down and preparing for the next touch.
The following are drills that can be used to help players develop better receving skills:

Passing
Because passing involves giving the ball to a teammate, it is important that players are taught to
know where their teammates are by constantly looking. A second important ingredient is verbal
communication, or talking. Coaches should teach players to provide intelligent verbal cues to
help with decision-making in passing.
The technical elements of passing vary based on the kind of pass being made. The key
elements of any pass (both short and long) include:
See the target.
Approach the ball.
Plant and position of support, or non-kicking foot (the toe of the non-kicking foot should
be pointed in the direction the player wants the ball to go).
Look at the ball, holding the head steady.
Contact the correct area of the ball with locked ankle.
For instep and outside of foot pass, the toes are pointed down and contact is on the top
of the foot.
For inside of the foot pass, toes are pointed up.
Follow-through: kick through the ball," following through toward the target.
Transfer the weight forward.
The following are drills that can be used to help players develop better passing skills:
A, B, C, D Passing
A passes to B, moves to center. B passes to center, moves diagonally to other cone (A). A
passes o C, moves to outside cone (B). Sequence begins again between C and D (*3 passes *3
movements per)

Combining Technique Passing, Receiving, Moving(Resource Library)
NSCAA Director of Coaching Education, Ian Barker, does a drill in which players pass the ball
through a gate and then look for another ball to combine the elements of passing, dribbling,
receiving and moving.
Shooting
Shooting uses the same technical elements as passing, with the important difference being that
the goal is to pass the ball beyond the goalkeeper.
If possible, the player should look up to see the position of the goalkeeper, choosing a
side to shoot the ball.
Approach the ball.
Plant the support foot beside or slightly ahead of the ball, which helps to keep the shot
low.
Keep the head steady and eyes on the ball.
Make proper contact with the ball.
Ankle of kicking foot is locked and the toe is pointed down if shooting with instep.
Hips and knee of kicking foot are pointed in the direction of the shot.
Follow through to keep the ball low (weight going forward, landing on the kicking foot).
The skill of shooting sometimes is called an art because the scoring of goals is such a prized
commodity. The mechanics of how to shoot are important, but perhaps more important isknowing when to shoot, especially because so many players prefer to pass the ball rather than
take on the responsibility of shooting. Since scoring more goals than the opposition is the object
of the game, players who are goal scorers are highly valued. Shooting frequently is done under
pressure from opponents, sometimes facing the wrong way and at awkward angles. Shooting
should be practiced against a live goalkeeper.
The following are drills that can be used to help players develop better shooting skills:

Conclusion
The skills of soccer are difficult because humans are hand-eye dominated. The skills discussed
here, however, are eye-foot and must be developed at a fairly young age. The difficulty for
coaches of young players is to conduct training sessions that involve repetition but are not
boring or tedious. Therefore, coaches of young players are in many ways very important as they
develop tomorrows players today.
The basic techniques
Introduction
Ball control is the foundation for all aspects of the game and a source of motivation foryoung players because it feels good to be at ease with the ball.
The ability to control the ball is the key to many other skills, and juggling is also a verygood way to practise ball control, getting familiar with the ball and gaining confi dence.Generally speaking, it is not difficult to master a technical skill, but it does become harder
as the game conditions change.
Therefore, a player can only master the technique of controlling the ball if he coordinates
the various parts of his/ her body. Furthermore, the learning aspect depends on the numberof repetitions, whereas there are various combinations available in terms of the method tobe used.
As a young player develops, his/her technical skills will set the foundations for good
development and enable him/her to experience all of the joy that football can bring.
In grassroots football, the basic techniques can be divided into four categories:
Controlling the ball
Running with the ball
Passing the ball
Shooting

1. Controlling the ball
a. Control / b. Juggling
Controlling
To control the ball is to master it. Properly controlling the ball means that a move will besuccessful. The control movements to focus on are: directed control and gathering the ballwhile moving these introduce speed into the play.
JugglingIf repeated regularly, juggling develops the skills of dexterity, coordination and balance in
young footballers. These skills favour the more rapid acquisition of other techniques.
2. Running with the ball
a. Without obstacles / b. With obstacles = dribbling
Running with the ball
This is how an individual moves in free space with the ball. When a player is running wellwith the ball, he/she is in control of it at all times: this requires good balance and excellent
stability. Running with the ball while keeping the head up allows a continuous flow ofinformation to be received and allows movement to be adapted to play.
DribblingThis is how an individual moves with the ball when faced by opponents/obstacles. Dribblingallows the player in possession of the ball to eliminate one or more opponents by:
making a manoeuvre and taking individual risks;
setting up a team move; gaining time to allow support from team-mates;
deceiving an opponent (the concept of the feint).
3. Passing the ball
8/10/2019 Football Skills
10/16
This is the action of giving the ball to a team-mate. It is an essential part of team play. As
the core of the game, passing allows a team to:
keep possession of the ball;
set up attacks;
change the direction of play;
counter-attack;
provide a decisive or final pass.
Crosses are a type of short or long pass, usually leading to a shot. They serve as the last
pass.
4. Shooting
4. Shooting
This is an action with the objective of dispatching the ball into the opponents goal. It is the
logical conclusion, the culmination of an attack. It is what football is all about. Shootingrequires technical qualities (striking the ball well, accuracy), physical qualities (power,
coordination, balance) and mental qualities (determination, audacity, self-confidence).

Football often comes down to the strategy that a team employs at the end of close games. Out-
think and out-execute your opponent at crucial moments, and your team often will find a way to
win. However, competing hard on a consistent basis requires focusing on the fundamentals of
the game. A team must correctly execute blocking, tackling, passing accurately, catching and
running with the ball.
Blocking

Offensive football is predicated on strong blocking. The offensive line must open holes for the runningbacks and prevent pass rushers from getting to the passer. Other offensive players must block, as well.
Offensive linemen must drive their shoulders into the midsection of their opponents and move them
downfield to effect successful blocks, and they must hold their position and form a pocket around thequarterback to protect him when he plans to pass.
Tackling

You must show toughness, strength and determination when tackling, but it also takes excellent techniqueto tackle consistently. It's not enough to run hard at the ball carrier and apply your shoulder to his chest
when you make the hit. That play might result in a knockout shot that gets the entire stadium rocking, but
it also might result in a missed tackle. Drive your shoulder into your opponent's hip and wrap your armsaround his midsection before powering him to the ground. Never let go once you wrap up an opponent.

Photo Credit Gabriel Garcia/Demand Media

Quarterbacks have to work on their passing form and accuracy in practice so they can be dependablein game situations.
