 If you want to take care of the ball better become a better playmaker. These are soccer passing drills you can do by yourself. Best tool for training on your own, especially passing, shooting, is a wall. So here I have a wall. It's going to be my partner. He's going to pass the ball back to me every time. He's never going to get tired and I'm going to do a bunch of different drills that you can use to improve your passing skills. First, let's just play two touch. Okay, so everything we talked about, good passing technique, body over the ball, open up the foot, playing with both feet. The only other thing I would focus on here when you're doing this is this first touch. Okay, because if I want to play two touch, if I want to play two touch and that ball sticks in my feet here, it's difficult to play two touch. It's difficult to get a good pass, the pass that you want. Focus on the quality of this first touch. Not so far that you lose control of it. Not so weak and so close that you can't play quickly. But just out of your feet so you can touch, quickly pass, quickly step into it. Okay, the other thing I want you to notice with all these is it's on the toes. It's not flat footed like this. If you practice like this, you play like this. So when you're doing these drills, focus on the quality, the sharpness of movement. Always on the toes, quick to react. Because if there is a bad pass, I can quickly get there, set my feet, play that pass. Okay, so start two touch. Next you can go into playing two touch in different ways. Let's play same foot as I've been doing. Same foot. Okay, give 50 reps on your right, 50 reps on your left. Good technique. When you're doing this, focus on one spot on the wall. Hit that spot every time. Play two feet. So receive left, receive right, or pass rate. Receive left, pass rate. Good quality on every pass. Then you can receive into space. Okay, so don't always stop the ball dead, especially in the game. If I always stop it here, I'm easy to defend. Attack with your first touch. Get away from the defender with your first touch. So into space, play your pass. Be creative, different techniques, play your pass. Good. You can play one touch. Okay, so again on the toes, focus on quality. When you're playing one touch, the contact point, the focus on the contact point becomes even more important. So you can see when I'm hitting these passes, I'm over the ball, but a lot of people hit their pass and they're not even looking at the ball. They're already looking at the target. Yes, you want to have your head up, but when it's time to make contact, find the center of the ball if you want to make it go straight, and actually watch your foot to the center of the ball so you make good contact. Okay, but play one touch. And sharpness of the feet. Playing with both feet. If you like this content, check out the Soccer Success Planner.

Inside of the foot, if I ever don't like my technique, say I had a bad pass on my left, I'm not just going to go back to my right. I'm going to come back to my left. I might get an extra 10. Really tighten it up until I'm happy with that technique. Then I'll move forward. Okay, you can play half turn as we did better touches. I'm not half turn as we did in a midfielder drill. Okay, focus on receiving, but the quality of your passes still there. Then you can play distances. So, play right here. Quick on the toes. The harder you pass it, the faster it's going to come back. Practice passing from different distances. Even coming way back here, you can start slow, but build up to it. You can play like a driven pass. Driven pass with the laces ping on the ground. You can play in the air, but I would just start practicing playing a driven pass on the ground. Good. The one that we didn't talk about was that outside of the foot. Okay, so practice start here. Touch across the body. Better touch than that. Outside of foot around the defender. Curl it around the defender. Around the corner to your teammate. A little through ball into space, but first of all, when you're doing this one, I'll ask my, I'll ask grown men to do this in practice. They can't figure it out. If I want to play the outside of my foot, this touch has to come across my body. If I'm receiving the ball here, and I want to play outside of foot, that's not what I'm asking you to do. There's no point really in doing that in a game. Okay, so if you want to play outside of foot, take a touch across your body and step, step into it. If you're struggling on this one, it's usually because your ankle flexion isn't strong enough. Your foot technique isn't strong enough. So really, don't hit it with a weak link, weak limb ankle and don't hit it back here. Okay, flex, get over it. Step through it. Flex, step through it.
