First Touch - In direction of next action - run or pass
Looking For:
Use both feet, inside/outside of feet/soul, make an angle to receive, scan to see the big picture, head up to decide your next action before receiving the ball
See the guidance at the top of this page to understand why you are not seeing interactive Football/Soccer images.
Setup a 20x20m grid (x 2 depending numbers) with players on each corner and 1 player in the middle by the mannequin.
Play starts with B checking off the mannequin and demanding the ball from D. D plays a solid pass into B who creates space and opens up the body to receive the ball on the back foot, takes a touch and passes into E. E has a good first touch out in front and dribbles the ball back to the start. All players follow their pass (D to B, B to E, E to D back of line). As soon as E starts dribbling back to the start A should have played the ball into B from the other side and the sequence continues.
* Can you check off the mannequin to create space
* Can you open up your body to receive the ball and play forward
* Can you use the correct weight of pass
* Can you do it at speed and with intensity
Progressions:
* B now plays a give and go with the dribbling player (C or E) before they set off back to the start.
* Instead of dribbling, pass the ball in.
* A plays into B who bumps it back to A. A plays in behind for B to play the give and go with C. C than passes back to the start.
