Usually, a player uses a foot or leg to trap the ball. .
Dribbling
The inside or outside of either foot can be used. When dribbling, the ball is tapped
along with the foot. However, players should never let the ball get away from them. In this
way, players can keep going toward the goal. But if the ball is tapped too hard, the player
may lose the ball. It's better for a player to pass quickly to a teammate instead.
Passing
Using this skill, it is possible to gain half the field with one kick. But when faced with an
opponent, the ball should be passed only a
snort distance. A player should pass to a
teammate only a few meters away. The ball is passed into open space ahead of the
teammate. Then, the player runs past the opponent to receive the ball back.
