Dribbling and turning maneuvers, including L turns, V turns, and quick rolls, to assess ball control, tempo, confidence on both feet, speed, balance, and spatial awareness in tight areas.
Combination turns and aerial control, such as receiving the ball from the air using the knees, chest, and head.
A series of passes with a partner, starting on the ground and progressing to lofted passes, to evaluate first touch and the use of different parts of the foot.
