How to Do First-Touch Stop and Roll and Why It Improves Control

First-Touch Stop and Roll is a drill where players first stop the ball on reception, then roll it with the sole to reset or change direction. Training this move against a wall develops composure, soft touch, and control under pressure. It’s a valuable skill for keeping possession and setting up the next pass smoothly.
