Fast footwork drills are a mix of dynamic ball mastery drills and static ball control drills (Coerver) which are executed fast and agile.
Light-footed players with a good ball coordination and technique are able to make the action to slice open the defence.
Incorporate these exercises in your soccer (football) training to gain first touch skills very fast.
Fast feet agility training requires a good cooperation between the central nervous system and the motor units in the muscles.
All you need for this soccer practice is a square meter on the lawn. You can train them even on the carpet in the living room.
Soccer coaches should incorporate these drills in their soccer training or warm-up time before a soccer game.
