Drill: Million Touches


* Group of 8
* 4 cones
* Supply of balls
* Grid 15 x 15 yards
Divide group into 2 teams of 4.One group serves,the other controls and passes back.

Firstly position the servers half way between the cones along the border of grid.

The working players must move quickly around the grid receiving the ball from the servers.Servers throw ball(when called) for the player to control using the head, chest, thighs and feet.

Progress to servers jogging around the grid with the ball in their hands. Alternate roles every 60 seconds.

Make a competition by seeing who can get the most touches in 60 seconds.

Players may not receive the ball consecutively from the same player. Only award a point if the player controls the ball and plays it back without the ball hitting the ground.

Develop to passing "one touch".
This warm up exercise keeps the group busy and working. It will also help to take the edge off players.
