What good looks like
Quick, light taps on top of the ball while the ball barely moves.
Safety
Tap lightly so you don't step on the ball and roll off it. Wear sneakers or turf shoes, and indoors clear space away from furniture and windows.
Why this drill
Toe taps teach your feet to move fast and land softly on the ball. That quick footwork helps with every touch, turn and dribble.
