(Players outside the square starts with the ball)
Make sure people do it twice each
1. Simple inside passes (left and right = call their names)
2. Inside foot volleys (Left and Right = try not to lean backwards)
(Standing foot still, and try to punch the ball instead of lifting it)
3. Receive the ball and dribble and pass to someone else without the ball
do two inside passes than receive and open on the third pass
(Talk about the movement off the ball, change of speed to receive the ball)
4. Chest control and half volley on the bounce
(Talk about the controlling the ball on the chest, go forward and control it)
