How to Do a Toe Touch Drill in Soccer

There are a number of good drills you can use to improve your ball control and touch in soccer. Juggling is probably the most popular and widely recognized one of these, but the toe touch drill is almost as good for improving your skills. Instead of focusing on ball control and feel like juggling, the toe touch drill focuses on developing quick feet and a light touch on the ball.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Position the soccer ball on the ground so it's resting right in front of your feet. There are other positions you can use to increase the drill's difficulty, but this is the best one to start with.

2. Find a stopwatch or clock to use as a timer. The drill only lasts one minute, but you don't want to skimp on time and cut short your touches on the ball.

3. Hop into the air and place the toe of your right boot on top of the ball.

4. Jump lightly back into the air as soon as your toe touches the ball. Speed is the key to this drill, so focus on being quick.

5. Set your left toe on top of the ball as your right foot lands on the ground.

6. Alternate these light toe touches for one minute.

Tips & Warnings

• Count the number of touches you get on the ball during the drill. Remember this number as your record and try to improve upon it with future drills.
• Use as light a tap on the ball as you can to keep it from moving around.
