State three ways trapping the ball in football game
1. Foot trap: The foot trap involves a player using the inside or the sole of their foot to stop the ball's momentum when it comes to them on the ground. The player positions their foot over the ball and applies light pressure, cushioning the ball and stopping it effectively.
2. Thigh trap: In the thigh trap, a player uses their thigh to stop the ball when it comes towards them in the air or with a bounce. They need to bend their knee slightly and position their thigh in the path of the ball, making a slight give as the ball makes contact to help absorb its momentum, and bringing the ball under control.
3. Chest trap: A chest trap is used when the ball is too high for the foot or thigh. The player positions themselves under the ball and uses their chest to stop its momentum. The key to a successful chest trap is to arch the back slightly and lean backwards, so the chest can take the impact of the ball and cushion it, bringing it under control.
