This week, Greg Vanney from CATZCoach - AYSO's preferred online training source - goes over another ball control-focused drill: "Bells." This passing drill helps players develop a controlled first touch, and keep the ball close to their feet.

Divide your team into pairs for this exercise, and be sure players are passing the ball with both feet. Perfect for U-8 and up.
