Youth Soccer Drills & Skills : How to Trap a Soccer Ball with Your Thigh

[leorosa]

Is this right? Hold your cause it will have a tendency if you have momentum to push the ball out. Is it not better to bring the thigh up but keep your foot behind the thigh, meaning hold your foot back a little to keep the thigh from hitting the ball

So Can I use my foot to trap it in air or no?

[iZ3ROify]

@12elfutbolista you maybe can, but it might not go where you want, because of the smaller surface area of the foot.

[commanderkiwi6]

@12elfutbolista Yes, but you have to use the inside of your foot and relax your foot so that the ball doesn't bounce away from you. Don't move your foot forward either, once it hits your foot bring your foot down so that you can be ready to pass/shoot, and so that it falls straight down.
