Drill/Game:
  • Move the right foot forward & then around the front of the ball so the outside of the right foot is touching the ball where the x is. Then push the ball softly to the right (so it goes only 2 or 3 feet), turn to the right so the ball is again at your feet & do it again.

     

  • Do 10 "circle & pushes" using the right foot & then 10 using the left foot. The first player to do 10 wins.
