Dribbling is nothing more than moving with the ball across the field. It is a skill used to relocate a player into desirable positions where he can shoot or pass the ball. What transforms dribbling into an art are the defenders whose sole purpose is to limit the options of the player with the ball.
HOW TO MOVE WITH THE BALL
Before you can take on defenders,you must learn the proper mechanics of dribbling. Dribbling can be done with the outside,inside,instep,and sole of the foot. You should be able to run with the ball or change direction,while keeping it under your control. When you want to pick up speed,do not kick the ball farther away. Instead move your feet quicker thus pushing the ball more frequently. When dribbling into space,dont just fix your eyes on the ball. Learn to simultaneously dribble and scan the field around you
