Inside of the Foot Pass:  The planted foot is next to the ball pointing toward the target, kicking foot is raised, toe up strikes middle of ball, ankle is locked, contact area is between ball of foot and the heel on the inside of the foot.

Outside of Foot Pass:  Angle approach to direction of the pass, toe down, ankle locked, and foot angled slightly in, contact surface is the outside of the laces, upper body is leaning slightly over the planted foot.

1) Make two lines; have players face each other approximately 10 to 15 yards apart and pass the ball back and forth using both feet, (note encourage the players to use the left foot 50% of the time more than the right foot during these exercises). Every time three to five minutes or so make the players move approximately five yards closer and keep on passing. the players should stop the ball before passing. Keep on doing the exercise until they are approximately five yards away from each other this time make them do a one -touch pass, this helps their coordination and keeps them on their toes.

2) Make two lines; one player passes the ball to the other player. The other player will run towards the ball and tries to shoot it towards the goal. The players shooting the ball should line up approximately 15 to 20 yards away and centered on the goal. Rotate the two lines so everyone gets a chance to shoot. Make players practice using both feet.
