Developing Good Dribbling Skills

Using All of The Surfaces of Your Foot
In becoming a good dribbler of the ball, you must make sure that you are adept at using the inside and outside of both feet. This allows you to cut the ball away from pressure and keep control of the ball no matter where defensive pressure comes from.
Touch the Ball With Each Step You Take
In very quick succession, touch the ball a little bit ahead of you when you dribble. This not only increases your dribbling speed, but it also increases your ball control. Since the ball is always so close to your feet, you can always cut the ball away from the defender when they reach in for it. When you first start this practice, go slowly and try to get as many touches as you can.
Improve the Weaker Foot
if you work on your weaker foot more often, it will become stronger, the more you use it, the stronger it will get. Simple tasks like shooting at the park with your left foot/right can make it become more usable in matches or practices, if you didn't feel comfortable using it. You can also pass the ball, or hit the ball against the wall, and use your weaker foot to get it stronger.
