The steps
How it works
- Stand 4 to 6 steps from a wall.
- Pass with two touches, then with one, keeping a steady rhythm.
- Every other pass uses your weaker foot.
- Do 5 sets of 45 to 60 seconds. Older players add a lofted pass to a high mark on the wall.
Coaching point
Keep the rhythm; weaker foot every other pass.
Make it fun
Play it, don't drill it
Challenge
Pick a level: Less (two touches), Core (one-two rhythm), More (weaker foot only). Beat your own best run.
