About the Program
A great first touch sets the stage for every play. This program is designed to help players receive the ball cleanly, stay composed under pressure, and set up their next move with confidence. Through repetition and game-like situations, players will refine their ability to control the ball in different ways and in different areas of the field.
Over the 3 weeks, players will focus on:
-
Receiving techniques with all surfaces of the body (feet, thighs, chest)
-
First touch into space to create time and advantage
-
Controlling difficult balls – bouncing, aerial, and fast passes
-
Turning and shielding to maintain possession
-
Game-speed decision making after the first touch
By the end of the program, players will be able to handle the ball with greater confidence, keeping possession and setting themselves up for effective passes, dribbles, or shots.
