Use this drill to train your players to protect the ball under defensive pressure without moving their feet. You receive the pass, feel the defender's hands, and work your fakes and pivots before returning it — the entire rep is about holding your ground. Run it early and often to build the composure that prevents turnovers when defenders dig in.
