Warm-up touches session that progresses through a series of different accepting/controling touches followed by a directional movement (small dribble or small dribble with a pull back). Both players will complete the activity before moving to the next progression (accepting touch style).
Player 1 (white) serves the ball deep into player 2s (red) triangle. Player 2 accepts/controls the ball using the designated touch and dribbles the ball across his/her triangle to breakout and then passes back to player 1. Player 1 retreates to the back of his/her triangle and the patern is repeated to the opposite side and contines for a set number or set period of time.
Change which player is serving and which is receiving and work through the progression again.
Be Focused on both sides.
Use proper foot strike to move ball into a good position with your first touch.
Work quickly and accuratly.
