Wall Warrior

Passing off the wall, both feet, inside and laces.

About Wall Warrior

A wall never gets tired. Eight drills building wall passing, first touch, rhythm, and both-foot control — inside of the foot and laces, one touch and two touch. Train them at your own pace, then show Glen or Jeff.

Train

Open one skill. Tick it when you've worked it.

Inside Two-Touch Passing

Coach cues

  • Set touch away from your body
  • Strike with the inside of the foot
  • Both feet, don't favour one

Try for

10 clean two-touch passes in a row, each foot.

Why this skill?

A clean first touch to set the ball, then a clean pass — the base every other wall drill builds on.

Inside One-Touch Passing

Coach cues

  • Meet the ball early, don't wait
  • Inside of the foot, firm not soft
  • Stay light on your feet between passes

Try for

10 clean one-touch passes in a row, each foot.

Why this skill?

Passing it straight back off the wall in one touch — no setting it first.

Inside One-Touch Alternating Passing

Coach cues

  • Alternate every single touch
  • Keep your hips open to the wall
  • Find a rhythm before you speed up

Try for

10 clean alternating one-touch passes in a row.

Why this skill?

The same one-touch pass, alternating feet every time.

Inside Two-Touch Alternating Passing

Coach cues

  • Set with one foot, pass with the other
  • Switch every rep
  • Keep the set touch small

Try for

10 clean alternating two-touch passes in a row.

Why this skill?

Set touch, then pass, alternating which foot does each job.

Laces Two-Touch Passing

Coach cues

  • Point your toe down, lock the ankle
  • Strike through the middle of the ball
  • Set it far enough to swing through it

Try for

10 clean two-touch laces passes in a row, each foot.

Why this skill?

The same set-and-pass, now with the laces instead of the inside of the foot.

Laces One-Touch Passing

Coach cues

  • Meet the ball early
  • Ankle locked through contact
  • Stay balanced on your plant foot

Try for

10 clean one-touch laces passes in a row, each foot.

Why this skill?

One-touch passing with the laces — faster, harder to control than the inside of the foot.

Laces One-Touch Alternating Passing

Coach cues

  • Alternate every touch, no favourites
  • Small hops to stay ready
  • Slow it down if you're losing control

Try for

10 clean alternating one-touch laces passes in a row.

Why this skill?

Alternating feet on the one-touch laces pass — the hardest combination in the ladder.

Passing Challenge

Coach cues

  • Mix surfaces and feet like the test will ask
  • Count out loud as you go
  • Miss a pass, keep going — don't reset

Try for

One minute of one-touch passes, each foot. Count them for yourself and try to beat it next time.

Why this skill?

Putting all seven drills together under time pressure — mixing feet and surfaces without losing rhythm.
