    How to record this drill

    Record 25–40 seconds showing 16–24 exchanges. This is the scoring clip, not the full 10-15 minutes practice session.

    Side-on (camera to the player's side, not behind), camera waist height (~3–4 ft off the ground), 5–8 yards back — player body, pass contact, and wall surface all visible in the same frame; do NOT film from behind the player.

    Objective

    Develop a clean, repeatable inside-foot pass and a controlled first touch off the rebound.

    Setup

    Stand 5-10 yards from a flat wall with one ball, body open to the wall.

    Instructions
    1. Stand 5-10 yards from a flat wall, body open, one ball
    2. Pass with the inside of your foot — plant foot points at the wall, strike through the centre of the ball
    3. Control the rebound in one touch, into a position where your next pass goes immediately
    4. Alternate feet every pass — right, left, right, left, no exceptions
    5. Keep the ball below knee height on every pass and rebound
    6. Pace target: aim for 30+ clean two-touch exchanges per minute (beginner: 12–19, developing: 20–29, proficient: 30–39, elite: 40+/min)
    7. Camera: side-on at chest height so both feet and the wall contact are visible — the AI counts your exchanges from the video
    What good looks like
    • Plant foot points at the wall, striking foot opens to a square inside-foot contact
    • Ball stays below knee height on every return
    • Alternates feet without breaking rhythm
    • First touch settles the ball into a passable position in one motion
    Common mistakes
    • Toe-poking instead of using the inside of the foot
    • Standing flat-footed and chasing the rebound
    • Same foot every pass — no weak-foot work
    • First touch goes back at the wall instead of into a controlled position

    How the AI scores this drill
    Primary metric: Accuracy And Weight

    Accuracy

    25%

    Ball returns to a controllable position — hits the intended zone of the wall and rebounds to the player's feet

    Weight / Pace

    25%

    Ball is struck with enough pace to rebound briskly but not so hard the player loses control

    Technique

    20%

    Inside-foot contact, plant foot pointing at wall, body balanced over the ball

    Rhythm & Volume

    20%

    Continuous flow — clean passes per minute without rhythm breaks, dropped balls, or long resets

    Both Feet

    10%

    Alternates between dominant and non-dominant foot with each pass
