Set up
- Warm up for 5 minutes: jog, toe taps, sole rolls.
- Find a wall or garage door.
Wall.
How to play
- Side-foot pass: plant foot pointing at the wall, hit the middle of the ball with the inside of your foot.
- Control then pass: pass to the wall, stop the rebound dead in one touch, then pass again. 2 minutes.
- First-time pass: pass it back without stopping it first (one touch).
- Practice foot: a minute passing with only your practice foot.
- Move and pass: take a touch to the side, then pass, like you're moving in a game. 2 minutes.
Make it easier
Make it harder
- Target: aim at a mark or brick on the wall. How many in a row can you hit?
- Longer pass: step back and pass harder, but keep it accurate.
- Two-touch rhythm: control with one foot, pass with the other, keep a steady beat going.
Three things to say
- Plant foot pointing at the target.
- Inside of the foot through the middle of the ball.
- Cushion the rebound, then pass again.
Colts habit
Work hard: little and often beats one long go.
Both feet
Do a round with the practice foot only.
Heads up
