Players: 1+ | Difficulty: 1 |
Description: A player uses their first touch to move across space before shooting.
Application: Being able to have a powerful, but correctly weighted touch that gets away from a defender.
Instructions
The player can do any faints, tricks, or skills at the initial cone.
From the standing still position, they must take a strong, but correctly weighted touch over 5yds.
The next touch on the ball is the shot on goal.
Setup
2 Cones / Poles 5yds apart at an angle.
Coaching Points
The touch must travel the full distance between cones, but be at a pace that allows you to catch up and hit it at the same location as the second cone.
Having a powerful touch that can propel and create space away from a defender is a great tool.
