Coaching Points
Place the sole of the foot on the top of the ball and gently push it forwards or pull it backwards, try to keep the ball close to the body at all times so that it is under your control. Be aware of the space around you by looking up to see where the space is. If the ball runs away too quickly, you can trap it with the sole of your foot so that it stops moving. Put your arms out to the side to help you to balance.
