Using a smaller ball such as the Brasilian Futebol can be of great benefit if used consistently in training sessions. It’s a tool for any situation including warm-ups, individual training, technical training and small games or game like situations.
The Brasilian Futebol can be plugged into sessions to add focus on touch and control which is essential to every training session. Control is key to developing possession which allows tactics to be employed. Emphasizing first touch is an essential element to control/possession and should be emphasized in every drill regarding ball control and passing.
Training does not have to be so regimented as to take the fun out of play. Jugging can be of great benefit to skills development as an individual, in pairs or in groups and is a fun way to train given a little attention and some instruction. Set short term goals and be consistent with testing and challenging new levels. Players can juggle at home and will find it an enjoyable part of their training.
