A short spoken walk-through of this drill.

Goal
Maintain a clean first touch and accurate return pass while constantly changing your distance from the wall.
Setup
Place 2 cones in a line perpendicular to the wall. Set one cone at 3 yards and the second at 8 yards to create your moving lane.
Drill Instructions
1. Start at the 3-yard cone and pass against the wall. 2. Receive the rebound while backpedaling toward the 8-yard cone. 3. Pass from the 8-yard cone and follow your pass back into the 3-yard cone. 4. Continue alternating distances for 60 seconds. 5. Alternate feet for every pass and touch.
Coach Tip
Keep your weight on the balls of your feet so you can adjust your position quickly as the ball rebounds.
Avoid
Standing flat-footed or letting the ball stop completely between your feet.
