  • One of the skills stations this morning at the first day of camp. The butterfly exercise above is a favorite of Joe Palumbo, that starts with players guiding the ball straight and changing direction. Players will change direction with the inside and outside of the foot. They will use the laces to push the ball out in front of them as they dribble straight. This simple movement with the ball can be mastered through repetition as it is the essence of dribbling. If you cannot move at speed with the ball close to your foot and change direction with all parts of your foot you are in trouble in the game. This ability is a necessity of every player who sees the space, takes it and changes direction once the space that was taken closes. #joepalumbosoccer #soccer #dribbling #calcio #camp #skill #sportsmanship #selfdiscipline #development #jpsacamp2018
