Setup

This is a one-on-one drill run by the coach and a single player on a third of the field. It ties quick decisions together with clean touches on the ball.

1）Set up two colored poles (or markers) on the field, one to the left and one to the right.

2）The player sets up at the start, ready over the ball.

3）The coach calls out a color (“Red!” and so on).

4）The player reacts fast and drives the ball toward the pole of that color, controlling it on the move.

5）Near the pole, the player takes a first touch and sets the ball at their feet.

6）From there, they turn to goal and finish.

7）Repeat several times. As the player settles in, speed up your calls.
