Initial setup. 1 has the ball at the top, 5 on the left wing.
DESCRIPTION
Player passes against a wall (or partner), reads the rebound, takes a directional first touch into space, and strikes a second pass. Foundational technique for tight-space football.
COACHING POINTS
• Cushion the ball with the inside of the foot — give with the contact
• First touch goes AWAY from where pressure would come
• Look up between touches — scan the field
• Second pass is decisive: same foot, no reset
• Alternate feet on each rep
Progression: receive on the chest, control to ground, pass. Receive on the thigh. Receive at an angle.
Regression: simple two-touch ground passes, both with same foot.
