Ball Striking
Find a wall and put a piece of tape on it or write an X with chalk. Step back 20 yards from the wall. Try to hit the “X" using a simple pass. When the ball comes back, you have two touches (one to settle it and one to play it). Once you can do it consistently (20 times in a row with no misses), back up 10 yards and attempt the same thing from the new distance.
Do the same thing with a driven ball. Once you can do these consistently each time with two touches, move the X higher and work on a ball in the air.
