MOVE
#4 – 1ST TOUCH
++++++++++
The
best thing a developing soccer player can do is develop dominant ball skills
needed to master the 1v1 (one verses one) game.
This
means getting thousands of touches on the ball to develop deep comfort and
control with all parts of the body and feet.
This also means mastering specific skills to keep the ball away from an
opponent, move the ball around an opponent, and take the ball away from an
opponent. As a player grows up,
dominant ball skills provide the best foundation for developing dominant
passing skills.
Younger
players can work through each move and skip those which are too difficult. Older players can work through each move and
spend time mastering those which are weak or missing from their game.
Move #4 – 1st
Touch
1ST
TOUCH
+ Dribbling + Moves + Physicality + Ball Control = BALL DOMINANCE
I
am a huge fan of dribbling. But what
good is it to be skilled at dribbling if you can never get the ball? You can’t dribble the ball unless you can
first receive the ball.
The
Inside Foot Stationary Touch is the most basic way to receive a soccer ball. After the ball is sitting nicely on either
foot then you can be off to the races using the dribbling skills you will be
learning in the next set of moves.
REMINDER: Nearly all of the foundational 1st
Touch moves will benefit from mastery of the Inside Foot Ground Pass/Kick. Proper technique for receiving a soccer ball
is very similar to proper technique for kicking a ball. If you are able to strike a ball correctly
using the Inside Foot you will quickly be able to learn all of the 1st
Touch techniques utilizing the Inside Foot.
If you do not have a level of mastery over the Inside Foot Ground Pass/Kick
it will be extremely difficult (if not impossible) to become skilled in 1st
Touch.
