Description: First Touch Individual Session ☝️

This individual session is focused on improving your first touch. The drills will help improve your confidence with the ball and it will make sure the ball stays close to your feet so you are in complete control of the ball ⚽️

This exercise helps you learn how to control the ball when the ball is coming down from above your head. It’s okay if you can only do it once or twice. The way you improve is practicing this over and over again. Take a couple juggles, then hit the ball above your head and try to bring the ball down and continue juggling.

High Juggling

This juggling pattern helps to improve your touch with the different surface areas of your feet. You will gain a ton of confidence and control if you can perform this exercise with ease.

Insides, Outsides and Laces Juggling Pattern

This exercise is a basic requirement to play soccer at a higher level. You have to master this technique. Once you do, the game becomes so much easier. Some tips: 
1. Make sure your head and chest are leaning over the ball. Make sure you aren’t leaning back too much.
2. Hit through the center of the ball. Do not hit the bottom or top of the ball.
3. Make sure you start slow and then start to give the passes some pace once you are comfortable.
4. Always be ready and stay on your toes.

One Touch Wall Passing

One Touch. 2 with the Right and 2 with the Left

This exercise makes sure you get comfortable with different surfaces of your feet such as the outsides of your feet. The goal here is to hit the ball more on the laces part of your outside foot.

Insides and Outsides One Touch

This exercise makes sure you have a good first touch and a good pass to the wall. Make sure the ball doesn’t get too far away from you. Cushion the ball so it stays close to your feet.

Two Touch. Only Right & Only Left.

This exercise is working on alternating between your feet as fast as you can. Touch with one foot and pass with the other. Always using the insides of your feet.

Two Touch Alternating Insides

This is a simple set up. Just like the basic zig zag but the cone spacing is much tighter. Each cone is about a step apart. Here you are working on keeping the ball as close to your feet as possible while going through the cones as fast as you can.
