Developing your 1st touch when under pressure…
General Notes
Play a game 5v5. Coaches observations around how and where the 1st
touch is...
1. Is it away from pressure?
2. Does it allow the player to attack / retain or protect the ball under
pressure?
Session runs as a whole - part - whole (slide 1 x 20 mins slide 2 - 20 mins
and back to slide 1 x 20 mins to see the hopeful development of the
players)
Aims & Objectives
Children will play a game and try to practice controlling the ball with the
sole of the foot and taking the ball out of the foot to allow the next
movement with the ball to go where the player wants it to.
Organisation & Setup
Game 1. 5v5 playing directionally end to end.
Play Futsal Rules and laws - 4 secs from side or when GK has the ball. GK
from when ball has gone out distributes with their hands.
Game 2 - Slide 2 - server sends ball in and can the receiving players first
touch allow them to attack to score. If not the serving player can join in to
make a 2v2 or 3v3 - consider adding in points system.
Coaching Point #1
Coaching Point #2
1st touch - Sole of the foot - HOW & WHY?
1st Touch - Where (side / in front or behind) what may
determine this - Defenders position - can the attacker be
'side on'
Please check online for laws of the game.
Try to when you can control the ball with the sole of your foot
every time you receive it.
Coaching Factors & Outcomes
Coaching Point #3
1st touch where, when, how, why, what (in no particular order)
Can the player be calm under pressure and 'stay on the ball'
Can you introduce 'safe side' 'back foot receive' and 'no touch turn' so
the children understand what they may mean and find when it is right to
one of them
Try never to panic when an opponent wants your ball
Try to recognise what might be the best body position to re…
Coaching Point #4
What can help the player have more time to decide - find
spaces before receiving.
Try to find different spaces to help you receive the ball
Adaptation & Progression
Game 1. If a players first touch takes in to the opposition player then it's a
free kick to the other team.
Game 2 slide 2 - if defenders get it can they play out under pressure
(developing their 1st touch under pressure and score in a goal or stop on
