get them both a football (SIZE 3). i've found it is really important to have the ball at their feet all the time!! - spend alot of time dribbling and passing with them. Use the SportPlan site to get simple passing drills (they might get bored easy, so it is important to encourage, I tell my team that the exercises are from Professional Teams such as Barcalona FC, Man Utd, Chelsea etc. - if they think they are doing the same drills as their hero's they will spend more time with the ball and really enjoy you teaching
