Sole control drills

The technique that defines futsal — sole rolls, drags, V-cuts.

Sole-of-foot ball control is the foundational technique of futsal. It pins the ball, executes the V-cut, escapes the press. Drilled cold every session for the first month, it becomes automatic by session twelve.

About sole control drills

Football players coming to futsal often try to use the inside-of-the-foot for everything — that's how they were taught. Futsal demands a different vocabulary. The sole pins the ball where the inside slides past it; the sole stops a roll where the inside chases it; the sole executes the cuts and drags that the close-quarters game requires. These drills isolate the technique deliberately, then build it into game-realistic patterns. They are not optional for serious futsal squads.
