What's up this week? This week's focus was two-touch passing. This drill is close to the same as last week's except instead of passing with only one kick, the player must settle with one touch and then pass the ball. For last week's competition we decided to pass the ball against a wall with one touch. We did this for three rounds and whoever was able to do one-touch passing the longest, without any mistakes, won that round. Whoever won the most rounds won that week's competition. This week we wanted to try something different. This week's competition? For this week's competition, we decided to create a competition based on the game "Hot Potato". We did this by having musical chairs music playing while we kicked the ball back and forth using two touches. Whenever the music would stop, whoever had the ball in their possession lost that round. We did five rounds of this but only used three rounds in the video so it wouldn't get too long and boring. We had to do this week's competition in the hallway of North Davie middle school due to rain and scheduling conflicts. Despite this, we had a great time and hope to our future competitions similar to this one. We agreed that having the competition structured more like a game made it more enjoyable and therefore easier to improve the skill. What's the point? The point of two-touch passing is similar to one-touch passing. Each help a player learn ball control and how to react fast during a game. Two-touch passing can be used in a game when a player receives a pass but needs to get rid of the ball quickly due to an on-coming defender or opposing player. This can also be a skill used to help ball control by forcing a player to make quick decisions about where to pass because of the limited amount of touches they get to use. Watch this week's video to see who wins!

That is a really good idea of a game to practice a skill you will need for soccer season. I can't wait to see what else you guys do.
