Guidelines

1. For all exercises, don't count a touch if control is lost before a second touch is accomplished.  It can't be 1, drop, 2, drop.  It has to be 1, 2, 3, 4, drop, 5, 6, 7 ...

2. Ask your players to read the ball through their shoe, and to know, with every touch, which toe touched the ball and what part of the ball it touched, and how hard.

3. Your players will have more success in a relaxed attention posture with slightly bent knees, head up, arms at a comfortable distance to provide balance.

4. To get in more touches in time available, ask players to recognize when they are just about to lose control of the ball, and to let the ball drop beside them, instead of getting in just that one extra touch that knocks the ball away 5 yards.  In the time it takes them to walk 5 yards, another player (partner) can get 10 or 20 more touches accomplished.
