I bought a 5x7 rebounder off Amazon a few months ago and I’ve been using it in my back yard daily. Has helped me tremendously. I’ll also drop 4 cones down about 15 feet away from the rebounder, allowing me to trap the ball out of the air, dribble thru a couple cones and send it back to the rebounder. Has added another dimension to my training.
This is what Messi was doing as a little kid when a coach walking by saw him and asked him to sub

Really ?! Interesting ... how do u know?
fake news
Do you have a video of that ?
m gonna do this everday niga
Fun fact. One of the best players in Norwegian history Ørjan Berg and his brother and father Harald Berg did this and said it was their secret. They were all pro players. So this is no joke
Big secret is out ... Every 10 year old kid did this in 70es in Czechoslovakia kicking the ball against the wall ,good exercise for ball control.
.
@@cheguevara5560 same here in italy, everybody loves football and almost everywhere u go u find a kid kicking the ball against a wall
Did what exactly?
Nice
@@Vic-vf5tmThe kicking ball against the wall drill from the video
I started doing this drill about 2 or 3 months ago, and I’ve improved massively.
What drill?
@@Vic-vf5tmBlud did u not just watch the video
@@Vic-vf5tmNo drill. You practice trapping, first touch, 1-2, volleys, turning, etc
From being the one no one wanted to pick to becoming a solid player in just three weeks, here’s a simple training drill I do each week to improve my skills:
-Pass the ball to the wall: 40 mins x 2 (two-touch pass, one-touch pass with both legs)
-HIIT Training: sprint + jog + sprint + walk (pitch lines) for 1 session
-Simple dribbling: 1 session
At home, I focus on improving my foot strength, ankle lock strength, ankle mobility ,and sprinting form every day.
Specially, I never skip a “pass the ball to the wall” session because I see it’s the best way to improve my first touch and passing skills and those are essential in every match. In a 90-minute game, you might only touch the ball 50-100 times, but you can achieve this in just 10 minutes of passing to the wall.
position?
@@adsanm9643 it doesnt matter
Do you do all this everyday?
@@SmallGlance i dont think so, maybe once a week and the other days you should do other type of training like shooting
@@SebastianRojas-uu2cp so do you think you should for example do defensive training one day then passing the next?
This video is more genuine and gives better advice than overproduced videos from million subs channels. Great work man!
As a kid, I used to kick a football against a wall every day as soon as I came home from school. I only reached semi pro level, but this technique definitely improved my first touch and also the ability to kill the ball especially when defending in the penalty box.
How important is barefoot? I got a good wall but bad grass/ground dirt for the feet it’s at a worn down corner of a high school grass pitch
This really does work. I’m older, only playing rec league, but my touch and confidence on the ball got so much better when I started doing this in my backyard
How often do you do this wall drill?
@@JaseRuggles I try to every day for at least 10 minutes
Congratulations 🎊 for your improvement
I read an article a long time ago that said during halftime, while other players were resting in the locker room, Pele was juggling a ball off the wall of the tunnel to stay sharp and stay warmed up. Not sure if that's true, but it does sound like something the King would do. His control of the ball was miles ahead of anyone, and that's probably because he played football everywhere non-stop and was incredibly driven.
Great video!
This UA-camr is partially correct. You cant just use the wall for practice and be well off. Wall just returns the ball fast thus giving you more practice within given time. Yes its gona improve your reaction and such but to fully make sense of this kinda work out is that 1st you need to mark spots on the wall aka targets, and trying to hit those targets. This will improve your aiming, and kicking the ball in the right direction.
2nd you need to start from short distance from the wall to far distance. This will help with control on your passes.
Other than that id use smaller ball to practice against the wall. Then i would care if im gona practice bare foot or not.
I grew up in Glasgow and we had lock ups where we would hit the ball off the doors or wall for hours on end. Left, right left, right…… I became comfortable and natural on either foot.
Great advice
Yes! I played in small back yard in Liverpool when a small lad with an old tennis ball .Kicking the ball against one wall then onto another wall immediately improves reactions and timing..then off into the street to apply these skills worked!
Thanks mate
I am an old man now, but I went from nothing, trained myself exactly with this, ball and a wall, started playing in recreational leagues and almost signed an amateur contract in the span of 6 years. I never went forward because of a knee injury, but I agree 100%. Ball and a wall, I never thought of it at the time because I didn't have anything else, but this is exactly what I did. Well done
It’s not about over complicating it with cone agility drills. It’s because the wall never gets tired and gives you an excellent first touch which is priceless in real game situations. Agility drills can serve a purpose but there is a reason the Dutch teach kids to practice on a wall
After College in America I lived in Jacksonville beach for years and would go play on hard sand with buddies just messing around barefoot all the time. My touch and movement increased significantly during that time. I can't tell you how much better I am now than when I was 18 (37 now) despite playing 20 times less and having full time job and family. Not in as good of running shape now but otherwise much much better. This stuff works like crazy. As soon as my kids are a few years older I will be out there everyday I can with them at the beach playing. This is the way...
Excellent routine, I do pretty much the same as I no longer have anyone around me who would join me. After all, you really just need a wall. Thank for sharing this!
That first touch is world class better than most pros out there
More vaseline
@@adamkozio5189ssx tricky
Hua?
explain
Thank you, very helpful. More productive and fun than complex cone drills.
I used to this a lot. Watching football videos wants me want to get back to it again.
Is a concrete floor and a wooden fence good?
Great advice 👏👏
I remember I used to play for a youth team in my city (we won several city championships) and one summer I thought, I’m gonna improve my left foot, so when I get back from my vacation, I can have an improved left foot. For two months straight. Almost everyday… I just kicked the ball with my left foot against the wall over and over and eventually you felt your body feeling more comfortable with my left foot. I came back and I helped my team win championships scoring goals with my left foot. I think it helps a lot because you can get a lot of repetition in a short amount of time. I think you build up muscle memory a lot faster too from the ball constantly hitting your foot and your mind and muscles being stimulated every few seconds
Thanks for that 🎉🎉🎉
I wish I appreciated this when I was young. This drill perfectly teaches you all the fundamentals you need. It seems repetitive and boring at first but becomes fun when you're good at it, and game day will become more fun too
This is the best because you get to repeat the first touch and kick the ball SO MANY times, there is no other exercise that beats it
I used to do this as a kid with my friends, in fact it's the only training I've ever done apart from playing games. Unfortunately after a while it became harder to find a wall without a window or a door and some space in front of it......
In all areas often the simplest methods work best as you demonstrated in this great video!
I usually train like this and i realized my ball control is improving day by day
Its so helpful
Barefoot training
Wall passing
I did this with a tennis ball when was a lad and i still have excellent ball control 30 years later despite not playing football regularly any more. It definitely works.
Thank you
When Bill Shankly took over at Liverpool, he had built at the training ground, 4 walls which the players were put into the middle of and just trained hitting the ball against each wall, turning fast and hitting each wall. Liverpool players became renowned for being able to control and pass accurately and ended up being the top team in Europe.
I myself, when there was nobody to play with as a kid, used to go up a quiet street and just practice hitting the ball against a wall. I used the kerb to make the ball shoot up and control it with my chest or trap it. It resulted in me being an excellent passer of the ball and able to hit the ball first time accurately as well as control it.
Bobby Charlton did this for an hour a day when he was an apprentice at Manchester United. The basics haven't changed since the 1950s.
Nice exercise, regards from Peru
Freestyle with the ball in the air any time you have free time when you’re at home. Practice it with socks on and once you’ve got that down do it barefoot. Learn to do it barefoot, with socks, and with shoes so the ball does not touch the floor at all. Use music if you need to to stay in rhythm. Every other day do light weights, push up, pull ups, crunches, and leg raises. If possible run four miles a day every day or right before going to bed. If you can’t run that far non stop, then start by running one mile away from your home then turn and run back and work your way up to over four miles. This way you build lean muscle, be faster than and push people by just tapping them in a soccer game. You will also be able to get to the ball first before anyone and instinctively tap away the ball from the opponent due to your master ball control. Eventually work your way down to a smaller ball and learn to freestyle with a tennis ball or with an avocado nut. Learn to freestyle with stuffed animals as well. Using a flatter ball to practice will also teach you.
shoes. always with shoes. barefoot makes you forget how to fucking kick properly.
100% agree with this, done it naturally without thinking about it since I was a very young kid and it really helps you with every aspect of the game :)
That's true, in the game when you're in a pressure situation you can only play your natural game
Really good advice. Like others here I did this a lot as a kid, annoying the hell out of neighbours by practicing against their walls or the lockups. If you look at some of the drills Xavi did at La Masia, although he had a lot of technology to help train to receive, turn and pass, it's actually just the same underlying drills and skill as this.
54 years ago at school we used to play a game kicking a tennis ball onto the lean to sloping roof of the bike sheds. The next player would get it as it fell off the roof, keep it off the ground (no arms or hands) for at least 5 touches, before kicking/heading it back on the roof for the next player. Last one in wins. I also practiced hitting targets on a wall with a football and controlling the rebound with one touch and hitting the next target. Me and a mate would also play keepie uppy and regularly do 300. I went on to play semi pro after an injury cut off my academy career. Unfortunately my mate died young of cancer. Enjoy it while you can!
You are right my friend!!... i did it for many years and i played 20 years professional....the only thing you need is your willingness!!...
if you dont mind me asking what club did you play for?
Im currently at Southampton Academy U17s
@@DCMFM If you don't mind me asking, I've always wondered what drills are taught at top football academies. At Southampton, what kind of drills do y'all do?
@favour405 There are two types of drills we do
Team drills and specialised drills
Team drills are drills that are like passes to teammates with a dummy to pass around
We also do buildup shooting, so we start from like the cb or gk to shoot in an 11 a side match
We also work on tactics and formations and see if we can play in more than 1 position
Specialised drills
These are drills that benefit a players specific position
For E.g, a striker will work on in the box finishing and headers
A midfielder will work on short passes (t wall passes)
And things like long passes to wingers/forwards
Etc etc
@@DCMFM Thanks a lot for replying mate. It's hard to find this information online. Just three more questions 1) do y'all do cone weaving drills? 2) What do you think is the most effective drill for mastering ball control? (do you agree with this video) 3) I'm guessing most academy players have really solid technical abilities, so what do you think actually separates the people that progress to the highest level from the others?
Also congrats on making it to Southampton u17, that's no easy feat
A culture of DISCIPLINE! You've got my subscription; I'm looking forward to more valuable content
Watch the Maradono video of him juggling shoes untied dancing and just mimic him and what he’s doing and how he’s moving. The chest the head the kicks. worked for me in a big way back when I started playing. It’s actually kind of similar to a wall drilll except it’s all vertical
You mean juggling? I might start juggling and doing freestyle because I honestly can't find a wall where I won't be bothering my neighbours lol
I do this in my gym/country club there's a small 2v2 court with mini goals... I just push the goals aside and do it! the walls are a bit low and the pitch is crappy turf/carpet... but I can attest this is the best training I ever did. I do it barefoot intuitively good to see Berbatov also recommends that. Gonna look for natural grass but it's hard to find with walls honestly. I can currently do only 3 wall juggles+control touch (to each side of the corner of the wall)... It's so much harder than it looks! Nice vid
Here in Brazil we have something called "altinha" - keepie uppie - and people play it alot. Futsal too, tighter spaces require quicker reactions which forces players to protect the ball and improve finesse. In the end, all these drills help improve ball control. Just look all the great players of the sport, ball control is a must.
In my garden i had a big wall to kick against, by the best oart was there was a 3-4 foot tall small coal shed next to it wirh a corrugated metal roof so the ball would come back to me at unpredictable angles if i let it roll down that.
I really think it gave me great resctions and control, i was captain of my junior school team, played with teams the year above me etc, and i was just doing it because it was fun really.
Makes total sense. Just look what the kids are doing in the streets in Brazil and Argentina.
I thought it was from the beach and street football ⚽️
Spent last winter 2 months in Brazil and juggled many, many hours barefoot on the beach, it's harder and took it's time to get used to it and in the beginning the friction of the sand got me even bloody wounds on the toes. Often random people would ask to play a bit together, they're really good.
Anyways, back at home finally putting my boots on after such a long time... juggling felt super easy! I was hella surprised, so I can back this video
I’ve been doing that every single day in early 80s when I was a kid. The wall of my school was a best equipment. That was my best exercise which I do enjoy even these days . Also I read some where that Frank Lampard was doing that as well after each training.
Keep going Harvey bro love it!❤️
I can confirm 100% on this.I felt more confident than ever before going into a season
Thanks bro. Simplicity is the key
No BS, straight to the point, love it
Thanks 🙏
I think this provides more value that one would realize upon a first impression. Great video
But you also need ball progression. My guess is that all you did before has been kicking in just now (that you got that trial). The wall is also good training I guess, passing and recieving balls. But if you have drifted with the ball further than other people, you will have more confidence with the ball.
this is how Gazza learned
The best advice!
…. The other big contributor is Consistency. Make touching the ball, second nature.
A Premier League trial? There’s a professional soccer player in one of the sub-elite leagues who posted a UA-cam video several years that broke down his game and explained why he wasn’t a Premier League player. The short of it is, he has the physical ability but not the decision-making or technical skill. He also mentioned that he wishes he could go back in time to coach five-year old him. With that in mind, how was one drill the difference between you getting attention or not getting attention from a Premier League team?
The guy from video is blind clown
Still have the link of the video?

The difference is that when you improve technically you're "releasing" your brain from focusing on the ball, for example, during long ball pass flying to you. So in that second or miliseconds you're getting opportunity for a glance, to take and perceive some additional information to make better decisions. Same with dribbling or running with the ball, if you have very good control you can have "head up" and see what's going on around, what options you have or partners give you (to see free space, runs, etc.). It's only some moments, game intelligence and understanding is another topic, player should think about the game outside the field also. In game - just look around more and more often before you get the ball, so your brain will get some extra seconds for decision making.
Thank you for sharing, starting today. ⚽⚽⚽
I used to do this when I was a child. Now after 20 years I still can play football
Do you think the cone drills would have yielded more results if they were designed to teach you to have equal proficiency with both legs?
muy buena.
good video. I'm going to make a gym in the basement during the fall for my kids and me. Some strength and fitness. And then one part of the room becomes for football. I often diaper and just use a cone, receive on one side and then a move over to the other side with a shot or a pass. They are going to be perfect and my youngest boys of 10 years. Thanks for sharing. ⚽
background music?
Is it okay if I can only play inside in my bedroom with a size one ball? I usually juggle with a size one ball in my bedroom and use my bed as a wall. Just wanted to know if this is okay too.
Yeah it's very much okay. I also did the same thing few years back and it made my ball control very good. But make sure you also touch an original sized ball frequently.
@@lucious3037 thanks
We've all been through the "Wall". It's a very fun experience especially with friends I still remember our lil ass body can kick as hard as an adult and the scary part is when it's your turn to be the goal keeper without any equipment damn that's very painful but very fun and satisfying at the same time when you block it. Good times. It's your companion if alone.
Great vid man - also what’s the name of the song that’s in the background?
for those with no large walls to use you can use your couch the bottom part , make sure you have some good space to move around as well
Came across your video today. The main reason I watched was because I remember Shoot for Love’s episode with Berbatov. Glad to see that some things should just be kept simple! Best of luck❤
Great video mate. Thanks so much ❤
The drills coaches teach actually dont work rlly well but this one, this kind of drills are what average brazil player do and thats why they are so good
nice touch!
My GUY!! Keep growing bro, you got what it takes, not just for football but as a creator.❤🔥🤝
@@mattyhunt Appreciate it mate!
Interesting development 😅
Thank You!!
This is legit advice.
JAJAJ fascinating, i did that yestarday, before watching your video, and i know it works, BUT A LOT, VERY IMPRESIVE, i improve very fast, nice video!
I think Cruyff did the same against his garage door at home. If someone can pass you the ball in whatever manner and anywhere on the field, you don't need to be Ronaldo and do bunch of 5 star fifa moves.
Nice ball control you looked like Zidane
I practiced this for JUST A WEEK... And wow am I surprised at how much I've increased, just 20 mins, shooting, passing.... And just wow totally recommend this drill
Every kid in Europe did this not only Johan Cruyff 😂😂😂
Reading the comments sounds like not every kid in the Americas has not done this, and it's helping them 😅😅😅
Good luck
Does a rebounder work as well as a wall?
Yes but a wall is easier to aim at
Bobby charlton did the same. Woild just kick at the wall all day
shoting against a wall is the way every father teach their kids in Argentina (likely in many othe countries, no idea). It is easy, free the parents to do something else, and it has no cost. It also works, mostly for the balance.
LOL ,cuando tenia 10 hacia esto en mi casa por 4 años todos los dias. Mejore mi tecnica enormemente , tambien me dribleaba el sofa, las masetas y al perro 🤣 y funciona.
does barefoot make a difference?
The wall is timeless. Wayne Rooney credits the wall.
Great stuff...it's all about the ball
Who was your Premier League trial with?
Bournemouth
Good stuff
it is a fun exercise to do however this approach is silly and reductionist and no you won't get a premier league trial by doing this exercise, Barbatov was chilling in his holidays probably and doing a fun drill not more. First touch in game-like situation with opponents require much more complex exercises which put you in a game-like situation (opponent, pressure, space) and make you receive the ball from different angles and positions.
Harvey, do you play for Bournemoth?
Actually can't think of any walls nearby people wouldn't get mad at me for kicking a ball against. I'm going to have to go for some walks and look around a bit.
There are some trees around though that no one would care if I kicked a ball against. Maybe that would work.
Does juggling in the house work or it must be outside with sunlight and grass?
juggling barefoot in the house works so well, after i went outside to juggle with my boots i could tell it was much easier after juggling indoors
I will advice outside because of sunlight and grounding and outside so you don't break something
Can i still use cones in some drills? Im gonna still try out berbatovs training tho is that okay?
Yeah cones are actually super useful for training. I am a Southampton U17 and i used cones to help me with incisive passes and dribbling so defo use em
First time I kicked the ball against the wall the ball burst! - Haven't been back since.🙁
All I've ever wanted is a decent wall and a ball. Tennis ball what ever. In the sun even better. Just for the love of it.
I agree with this vid and also all this drill training takes the flair from the player. Creating just dry athletes instead of real footballers
Is it fine if I use smaller sized balls?,tennis balls at that size.and just do it against the wall at my home both feet will it work?
What would you do in the winter?
I tried this, but the ball doesn't always come straight back to me.😂 Any tips?
You are not kicking it firmly enough and also you may not be kicking it with the correct part of the foot.
With the inside foot, turn your foot so that your toes are facing right. This creates a large surface for the ball to land. Then make sure the ball lands on the part of the inside foot between the ankle and joint of the big toe.
Hit the ball firmly towards the and practice a lot.
@@Therongunner thanks 👍
This is all I did all summer long
