The Dribbling Maze drill is a great way to help improve ball control and learn to dodge defenders. An added bonus \u2014 it\u2019s something you can do on your own at home.\u00a0<\/p><p>To set up the drill, you\u2019ll need:<\/p><ul><li>Cones<\/li><li>Tennis ball<\/li><li>Size one soccer ball<\/li><li>Regulation-size soccer ball<\/li><\/ul><p>Randomly set up the cones in a five by five-yard area. Using a tennis ball, dribble through the maze in a random pattern without touching any of the cones.<\/p><p>Once you\u2019ve successfully gone through the maze with a tennis ball, swap it out for a size one soccer ball. Using a larger ball will add a level of difficulty, making the drill more challenging. Continue to focus on your dribbling technique and ball control as you move through the maze.<\/p><p>Once you\u2019ve navigated the maze with a size one ball, it\u2019s time to move up to a regulation-size ball. It\u2019s important to continue to challenge yourself as you work toward the goal of bobbing and weaving through defenders come game day.<\/p><p>Looking for more tips to perfect your craft?
