Soccer Homework: Stop-Hop and Push

Soccer homework for Thursday's training: The Stop-Hop & Push x 20

Here is the Stop-Hop & Push procedure.

1. Start the ball rolling with the outside of your right foot.
2. Move quickly to catch up with ball and STOP it with the sole of you right foot as you HOP over and past the ball. (Both feet should be past the ball.)
3. Plant and pivot on your right foot turning 180° and PUSH the ball back the opposite direction with the outside of the left foot.
4. Repeat steps 1,2,3 but with the opposite foot.

Notes:
- The ball should move like it is on a train track -- Only in two directions.
- Ball should stop completely
- The further you HOP past the ball, the easier it is. Just don't go too far over.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I will pick a few people at random to demo at the start of training.

If everyone can do 20 stop-hop and pushes with no trouble, no running to start training.
