First Touch in
Soccer
 Ask
many upper level coaches, ODP and College Coaches included, what one
skill they really look for in a GOOD player and the answer is
probably FIRST TOUCH skills.
As the game of soccer
progresses in more competitive levels the speed of play also
increases. This means that first touch is critical for these
players.
Do they touch into
space?
Do they have an explosive first touch and move?
Can they receive hard long passes while in first stride?
Whether it is a 10
year old or an older player, this is a LEARNED TECHNICAL SKILL.
It is VITAL that every player develop a PERFECT first touch and an
ability to SEE where to play BEFORE the ball arrives at their feet.
We cover a GREAT deal
on this subject matter and show you how to program this ability into
a players every day habits.
