Every player will have a ball. They will have to dribble round listening to the commands of the coach (dribble fast, toe taps, drag back etc). Once you shout 'PACMAN!' they have to kick the ball at your feet with the inside of their foot. Once they have hit you 10 times you leave the square again. Repeat 2/3 times.
- Make sure they always have their head up when dribbling so they can scan.
- Make sure they are using the inside of their foot to pass the ball at your feet. Point the standing foot towards the target, open the passing foot and lock the ankle. Follow through towards the target.
- Dont panic/rush when they have to pass at the coaches feet, head up and relax.
