Touch Limitations: Limiting touches on the ball forces players to think what they are going to do with the ball before they get it. It also forces them to utilize the touches they do have and make sure their first one is especially good. In drills with pressure, touch limitations work to make your players think and act quicker.

Passing Limitations: Requiring players to perform a certain number of passes before a goal can be scored teaches players to become comfortable passing and possessing the ball, and it will also make them patient. Over time, they will learn to recognize and prefer high probability passes in favor of keeping the ball rather than passes that jeopardize possession because they are less likely to reach their intended target.

Headers/Volleys only: This can be a fun stipulation forcing players to work mostly on attacking from the outside channels with crosses. Make sure players understand that good crosses come back at roughly a 45-degree angle, as flat crosses will get picked off by the goal tender.
