Yes, I understand that it is not easy to concentrate on the non-dominant foot when you are just beginning, and my advice was for players a bit more advanced than that and when learning a new skill, but I still think that giving equal time to both feet and trying a new skill first with the non-dominant foot would help even beginners. Beginners have the tendency to do everything with the same (dominant) foot because they have better control with it, and without encouragement to use the other one, they will become unable to switch feet during play. And that will limit their progress.

playing socccer with both feet is a waste of resorces for:begginers by: Alejandro farias
But don't you think that it's a waste of time for a begginer to learn both feet if they can't even learn with one leg? I think it's a waste of time learning with both feet for begginers because they need to concentrate on learning with one foot and then the ohter one.

Teach skills on non-dominant foot first by: Anonymous
If you want to learn to use both feet well, whenever you practice a new skill, master it with your non-dominant foot before trying it with the dominant one. You will always be able to transfer a new skill to the stronger foot, but if you start with that one, you'll find it much harder to learn to use the other foot.
I am very right hand-dominant, but by always learning a new skill with my left foot first, I was able to be very effective kicking corners with my left foot, and it helped my dribbling and trapping too.
