Roll Up Inside Outside - Static Ball Control Drills for U8-U9

Tutorial

When starting with the right foot:

(Switch left and right below when starting with the left foot)

1. Take position behind the ball with the feet below the hips.
2. Bring the right foot on the left side of the ball and tilt it a bit to create a larger surface to touch the ball.
3. Touch the ball at or below the lower half.
4. Roll the ball to the outside (to the right) till the right foot is on top of the ball.
5. Pull the ball across to the left foot by either moving the knee to the left (blocking the lower limb) or by doing a fast sideways move with the toes.
6. Put the right foot back on the ground.
7. When the ball is between both feet, bring the right foot on the right side of the ball.
8. Touch the ball at or below the lower half.
9. Roll the ball to the inside (to the left) till the right foot is on top of the ball.
10. Pull the ball across to the right again by either moving the knee to the right (blocking the lower limb) or by doing a fast sideways move with the toes.
11. Steps 1-10 is the same for the left foot.

Things to watch out for:

1. Keep the ball on a straight line just in front of the feet.
2. Get the feet in position quickly to avoid rolling the ball too much to the outside.
3. Don't wiggle too much on the support foot. This correlates highly with point b.
4. Mind the details.
