Circle Possession

Coaching Objectives

Coaching first touch needs lots of repetition of the problem passes that players receive during a match. Having the ability to control poor passes is key to keeping possession and winning games.

Things to look out for:

• When we play a long pass, it must be played with speed.
• If the pass is short, we should lay it off softly, in diagonal to help our teammate be able to step into his pass.
• We should always try to play the ball to our teammate’s foot furthest away.
• Always play the ball along the ground
• Try to look around and scan the area before receiving the ball.
