Objective of the Practice:
This practice is designed to improve each player’s ability in ball control. The emphasis is placed on “Cushion
Control using the Feet”.
Field Preparation:
 Grid 10 x 10 yards. 2 players. Cones. 1 Ball.
Coaching Points:
Two players per grid, with one ball. The grid should be 10 yards x 10 yards. The players are positioned facing each other about 5 yards apart. The player with the ball starts the practice by rolling the ball along the ground, for his partner to control using the inside of the foot. The player controlling the ball should get the controlling foot behind
the flight of the ball. On contact with the ball, the player immediately withdraws the foot, taking the pace off the ball, and cushioning it. The player then passes the ball back to the server.
Players can keep score, one point for every successful control.
