Inside-outside

Move the ball side to side with the inside and outside of one foot.

The dashed line shows the path of the ball. Yellow triangles are cones, which can be shoes or bottles.

How to do it

1. Face forward with the ball at your feet.
2. Push the ball across with the inside, then back with the outside.
3. Speed up only when your touches stay clean.

Coaching tips

• Move the ball with the inside, then the outside, of the same foot.
• Keep your knees slightly bent and your weight forward.
• Start slowly and speed up once your touches are clean.

Common mistakes

• Rushing before the touches are clean.
• Staring at the ball.

Make it harder

Switch feet each set, then add a step forward between touches.

Warm up first, train in a safe space, and stop if anything hurts. Younger players should train with adult supervision.
