Directional First Touch and Wall Pass

Sets: 3Reps: 20 repsRest: 30 secEst. duration: 1 min 5 sec

Position three cones in a line facing a rebound wall; receive the rebound with a directional first touch across the cones and return the pass from the other side, working both right and left feet.

Key points

  • Take a positive directional first touch across the cones rather than killing the ball dead
  • Keep the ball moving continuously to maintain momentum and flow of play
  • Vary the foot surfaces used for receiving (inside, outside) and strike the return pass cleanly with two touches

Common mistakes

Killing the ball completely dead or taking heavy touches that travel too far past the outer cones.

Key points

  • Adopt an open body profile on the half-turn before the ball arrives
  • Guide the ball around the cone marker with your first touch to accelerate speed of play
  • Distribute the pass firmly on the second touch using both feet across alternate repetitions

Common mistakes

Facing the wall square-on with closed hips, requiring multiple extra touches to turn.

One-Touch Distance Modulation Passing

Sets: 3Reps: 30 repsRest: 30 secEst. duration: 1 min 15 sec

Play continuous one-touch ground passes against a wall while dynamically adjusting your distance (moving closer and further away) to calibrate passing weight and first-time ball striking.

Key points

  • Strike the ball firmly through the equator with a locked ankle and firm inside foot
  • Adjust footwork and body position as you modulate distance closer and farther from the wall
  • Isolate right foot only, isolate left foot only, then alternate feet in fluid succession

Common mistakes

Leaning back and popping the ball into the air or mistiming the weight of the pass when backing up.
