As you gradually feel more comfortable, start using your instep. An instep kick is harder to control, but it is significantly more effective.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1. TWO-FOOTED CONTROL<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XNrkazodF88?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you probably have a preferred foot, you still have to practice your weak foot. This drill offers a very simple way to practice both feet so you do not mess up a simple pass because you only have one strong foot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Drop the ball at your feet, and after it bounces once (or before it bounces at all), lightly pass it to the rebounder using one foot<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Allow the ball to bounce off the net<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Before the ball touches the ground, receive it with the other foot and lightly pass it to the rebounder<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Repeat until you can do this in full control. Track your progress in the MuninPlay app to make sure you continue to improve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty: 1 out of 3<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>2.

Use only one foot at a time for this drill, and start with your right foot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Drop the ball and let it bounce once before making a pass to the rebounder with your right foot<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Allow the ball to bounce off the net and move your feet to prepare to receive the ball<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Allow the ball to bounce once, and make a right-footed first-time half-volley pass to the rebounder<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Repeat until you feel comfortable, and then practice with your left foot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty: 2 out of 3<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>3.

It looks similar to drill number 2, but instead of letting the ball bounce in front of you, make an instep first touch and keep the ball in the air. Start with your right foot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1: Drop the ball at your feet and let it bounce once before making a pass to the rebounder with your right foot<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Allow the ball to bounce off the net, and before it touches the ground, make a right-footed instep first touch<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3: Before the ball touches the ground, make a right-footed half-volley pass \u00a0to the net<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not let the ball hit the ground when you get into a rhythm. Switch to your left foot at some point to train both feet.
