AGFAcademy | Drill #2; Control and Passing

We (Team Andre) are so glad to be bringing you more words from AGFAcademy. A few days ago, we introduced the first drill and today we will be introducing the next drill which is basically the second basic skill that you will be learning from the academy.

Passes are really of no use if control is lacking. Whenever a player passes the ball, it is important that the next player gets the ball in the right condition in such a way that he/she doesn’t lose the ball to the opposing team. This is why Andre has made it a point to show you basic ball controls right after he showed you how to pass the ball.

you will not always have to be the one passing the ball… it is important to learn basic ball control for every time you will be receiving the ball from another player passing to you.

Kudos to the active participants

Are you curious? It is not difficult to learn. Before I show you the video to the drill I would like you to bring you some updates on how the academy is doing in the various locations of the world. We have received over 15 contributions since the last update; kudos to the Indonesian and Nigerian communities, they have so much love for the game. We hope to see more participation from lovers of football from all over the world.

The second drill

Control and Passing

---

What you are doing basically, is passing the ball with one foot and controlling it back with the other foot (your weaker foot). This drill also involves the applications the in-step pass. In other words, you will be practising the control and in-step pass at the same time. I hope you have a great time learning this from Andre. It is very simple, all you need to do is; watch Andre, practice the drill, do your own video.
