Players who are comfortable with the ball at their feet and who are confident and creative on the field are known as "ball masters." These players are able to receive the ball from any direction at different speeds and successfully navigate any situation on the field with great control of the ball.
Primary objectives:
• comfort on the ball
• touches with a purpose
• 1 v 1 moves to beat defenders
• moves to change direction
• elusive movement to create separation from defenders
• deft first touch
