1x1 Box Drill

Set up a 1x1 yard box with 4 cones. Have a partner stand 5 yards away and fire a firmly weighted ground pass. Cushion and deaden the ball completely inside the square with a single touch, then pass it back.

Key points

  • Cushion and kill the ball inside the 1x1 yard square on the first touch
  • Lock the ankle and maintain soft, yielding contact with the instep
  • Deliver a clean, weighted return pass back to your partner

Common mistakes

Touching the ball with a stiff ankle, causing it to bounce outside the cone boundaries.
