Step 1: Hand on the Ball

Spread your fingers out to give yourself great coverage on the ball and try to control the ball further down to your foot.

FOCUS POINTS:

Use a size 1 Precision football to practice your grip and control when dropping the ball to foot.
Practice having a longer connection with the ball. Don't hold it all the way down to your foot, but hold it longer to keep it stable and it'll be more consistent hitting the middle of your foot.
Practice dropping the ball over your knee and turning your wrists down towards your foot, so you are getting the bottom point of the ball to drop onto the middle of your foot.
Once you feel confident using the smaller sized ball then switch over to your usual sized Precision football and try this drill again.
