By Jacob Daniel The modern game requires that players have the ability to receive the ball and turn with it in any direction.
This is especially true of midfielders and forwards. Well organized defenses are adept at squeezing space quickly and adopting very compact team shape. This requires midfielders and forwards to operate in crowded areas with little margin for error. Players must learn how to use the gaps between the lines to control passes instantly and make quick decisions. In order for players to receive and turn in any direction, they have to learn to use many parts of their body to control and propel the ball, such as the inside and outside of both their feet, their chest, both thighs, and the sole of their feet. But many of our players have not developed the repertoire, flexibility and body control to manipulate the ball in a 360° range.

Play 4 v 4 with four target players – one in each corner – target players play on the team that has possession of the ball. Field size can be adjusted to number and experience level of the players, but it should have more width than length. (30 by 40yds.)Each of the four corner goals is basically a 3 by 3 yd. square.
