The first player throws the ball to his partner so that he has to use part of his body, either his chest or thigh, to control the ball. In this activity suggest that right footed players turn with the outside of the foot to go round the cone, and left-footers use the inside of the foot.

I ask the above question with a little wink of the eye. You're a good soccer parent and as your child goes through the different age brackets, you realize that the time commitment gets greater and greater. Counting drive time, warm-ups, playing time and halftime, it's a significant amount of time around and you want to do what's best for your child. One of the kids on a team I coached for several years rarely arrived in time for warm ups and early in the games it would show.
