Two-Touch Sole Roll Grid

Objectives

• -Build sole and inside-foot control in a busy space
• -Grow confidence manipulating the ball with both feet
• -Turn ball mastery reps into usable game actions

Setup

1. 1A grid of cones two yards apart in a 18 x 18 yards area.
2. 2Place a marker at every receiving position so players know where to set the ball before it arrives.
3. 3One ball per player, spare balls on the coach's cone.

Coaching instructions

1. 1Players work through sole rolls, drag-backs and toe taps between the cones.
2. 2On the coach's call they perform the move and accelerate into free space.
3. 3Repeat with the weaker foot leading every second round.
4. 4Ball enters from the coach and the first receiver is on two touches from that moment.
5. 5Count completed sequences under the touch limit — best of three 3-minute rounds.
