Freestyle Backstop

[I usually set this drill up for early arriving players.]

Required: A backstop, three goals and a ball.

Setup: A player stands with a ball in front of the backstop. The goals are positioned on either side and behind the player.

Drill: The player kicks the ball into the backstop. When the ball returns, the player can one- or two-touch the ball into any of the three goals. I encourage fancy touches.

Here’s my son showing a fancy through the legs redirect... (I didn’t setup goals for the clip, but I think you get the point.)
