What good looks like
The ball comes back to the same spot and you pass it without stopping it first.
Safety
Only use a house wall if a parent says it's okay. Pick a brick or concrete wall away from windows, parked cars and the street; a garage door dents and rattles.
Why this drill
In a game the ball often has to move on with one touch before a defender closes in. Quick wall passes train your feet to get set early and pass firmly with either foot.
