Variations
Look to where you want to pass
Step and kick the ball with the inside of your foot
Try to keep the ball along the ground by leaning forward
Focus on accuracy, rather than power
“When someone passes the ball to you, you need to control it and keep it close so you can play on without getting tackled or losing the ball”
