Wall Warrior
Wall Warrior is your third button pathway. Eight drills. One test. One button.
Wall passing builds real technique — first touch, passing rhythm, and control off both feet. Every drill in this pathway transfers directly to match play.
To earn your Wall Warrior button: complete 5 sessions of 10 minutes (50 minutes total), then pass your coach test.

The Coach Test
