This is the same a Barca Academy Directional Control exercise as explained by Tito Vilanova.

*To make it a first touch exercise, move the players and cones so players are only about 3 meres apart.


*After players seem comfortable with receiving with the right and left inside of the foot, then ask them to receive with the outside of the preferred foot, taking it across the cone, and passing with that same foot.

*Then ask them to receive with the outside of the non-preferred foot , and taking the ball across the cone and passing with that same foot.


*To progress it even further, ask the players passing the ball to increase the speed and power of passes, forcing players to receive harder hit balls.



*This can also be done against a wall, using inside and outside of both feet to receive, then pass back against the wall.
