Back Foot Open Receiving Touches

Open hips and body shape prior to receiving, using the inside of the back foot (the foot farthest from the ball) to cushion a miniature forward pass across your body before stepping into the return pass.

Key points

  • Pre-orient your hips in the intended direction of travel
  • Use the inside of the trailing foot as a forward push touch
  • Step onto the ball and play back to the wall without delay

Common mistakes

Facing square to the wall without opening the hips, forcing an awkward reach.
