This DVD focuses on the basic techniques in soccer - the foundation of every player's performance. Correct identification of a player's technical ability is one of the most important skills a coach possesses. Faulty technique, if not diagnosed early in a player's development, will become so ingrained in a player that it will be extremely difficult, if not impossible to correct.
Coaches who use this program to develop their knowledge of technical training will be enormously helpful to the player's development and will enjoy the satisfaction of seeing their players improve.

Narrator: The National Soccer Coaches Assocation of America is pleased to present this program featuring instruction on the basic skills of the game of soccer. In this program NSCAA Director of Coaching Development, Jeff Tipping, works with U.S. Women’s National Team member and Olympic champion, Aly Wagner, to demonstrate proper techniques for the skills of dribbling, receiving, passing, shooting, and heading.
In the first session, Aly Wagner demonstrates dribbling technique while former NSCAA Director of Education and Coaching Development, Jeff Tipping, explains the four different ball and body movements of dribbling.
Jeff Tipping: Every good team must have a number of dribblers on the team who are comfortable handling the ball beating opponents. Dribbling is composed of basically four different kinds of ball movement and body movement. One is just simply manipulating the balls. Players developing the comfort level on moving the ball with all different areas of the foot. Underneath the foot, ball of the foot, heel of the foot, right inside, left inside, rolling the ball over the foot. Get a comfort level maneuvering the ball.
Again, the player has to look at the ball. The more they can look up obviously the better, but for many of these exercises, players have to develop peripheral eye contact with the ball. They see the ball peripherally as they manipulate the ball.
