| Proper Technique for Passing and Receiving with the Inside-of-the-Foot |

75% of all passes and receptions at all levels of play are with the inside of the foot, yet over 50% of most players use incorrect technique. If a player has used incorrect technique for several years, it is difficult to correct. So, we believe it is very important to start teaching the proper technique by age 7 or 8. We focus on skills training leading up to accurate Inside-of-Foot passing & receiving. We teach "Passing to Space" and "Aggressive Receiving" -- Passing to Space is easier for beginning players and will result in much better ball movement, better ball possession, use of Open Space and "field vision". Aggressive Receiving is a better way to teach receiving and will result in a big improvement in our players and their ability to retain the ball. Our "Dribble Around A Cone & Pass Relay Race" teaches Aggressive Receiving & Tactics". |
