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 serving the ball from waist height, for his partner to control using the laces of the shoe. The player controlling the ball should get the controlling foot under
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 down to the ground.
The player then serves the ball for his partner. Ensure that the serve is a "looped" serve and not shallow.
Players can keep score, one point for every successful control.
