Wall Drills
Passing, first touch and the weak foot off a wall or a garage door. 11 drills from Spatrian’s programme, each with its set-up, its steps and what to watch for. Put any of them in a session with the practice plan builder.
The space and equipment check says how many of these fit the ground you have.
Wall Passing (Solo) / Partner Passing
Stand 5-8m apart. Pass the ball back and forth using the inside of the foot.
Target Practice
Set up targets (cones, water bottles) in a goal area. Shoot from 8-12m trying to hit them.
Two-Wall Scanning Gauntlet
Continuous wall passing while reading and calling a marker behind you.
Wall First Touch
Pass into a wall and kill the returning ball dead with one touch, then play it back with the next.
Weak Foot Only
Two minutes against a wall using nothing but the foot they avoid.
Sole Stop and Wall Pass
Pass against a wall and stop the return dead under the sole, then pass again: the first touch a futsal player uses on every ball that comes to them on a hard floor.
Pivô Hold-Up and Lay-Off
Receive with your back to goal like a futsal pivô, stop the ball under the sole while shielding it, and lay it off first time to a runner arriving from behind.
Turn and Toe Poke
Receive a ball off the wall with your back to the target, turn with a sole drag, and finish with a toe poke through a cone gate before a defender could close: the pivô's quickest finish.
GK Wall Reactions
Throw against a wall and catch the rebound from a set position, closer and quicker each round, so the hands react before the head has time to think.
Outside-of-the-Foot Wall Pass
Passes off a wall with the outside of the foot, the pass that disguises where the ball is going, from four steps back in a garage or a basement.
Receive, Half-Turn, Pass
Play the wall, open the body as the ball comes back, take the first touch across the body through a gate and pass again: the midfielder's half-turn off a wall.

Every drill, read aloud and on the record
In Spatrian the Audio Coach talks a player through these drills while they play, and each run goes on their own training record, which their coach or personal trainer can read. The beta is opening to a small first group of players, coaches and families.
