MATCH ACADEMY TIP!

Have soft knees and keep your body over the top of the ball for balance. Sneak a look in front and to the side as you move forward with the ball to see opponents, team-mates and space. Try challenging yourself, too – count how many touches you can make in ten seconds and try to beat your score each time!
