(Switch left and right below when starting with the left foot)

1. Take the ball sideways with the outside (of the laces) of the right foot.
2. Step into the direction of the ball.
3. Roll over the ball with the inside of the left foot.
4. Reposition the right foot beyond the ball.
5. Turn the body to the other side.
6. Take the ball with the left foot.
7. Repeat continuously from step 1-6.

Things to watch out for:

1. Don't stand rigid on the legs but flex the knees a bit.
2. Make sure the ball is stopped after the slap cut. Don't let it roll over the foot or let it move away.
3. Don't move forward or backward while doing the drill. Try to stay on the same imaginary line.
