Improve your ball control step 1
Get into line with the flight of the ball as quickly as you can and decide how you are going to control the ball.

Work on practising your control with your feet, thigh, chest or head, as you can receive the ball at any height.

Trying to control a ball above waist height with your feet is not an easy skill, so why risk it when you can use your chest?
