Tap the ball from foot to foot to
dribble as you run. Tap the ball forward 6 to 8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 m) with the instep of one foot and run after it. When you catch up to the ball, kick it forward again using the same technique. Soccer players use this skill to maintain control and possession of the ball as they move down the field.
