What good looks like
The ball rolls flat along the ground and hits the target at the same speed every time.
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
The inside-of-the-foot pass is the pass players use most in games. A wall gives you a pass back every time, so you get lots of touches with both feet in a few minutes.
