Box Touch to Shot (Back-to-Goal Turning)

Start inside a 4-cone box with your back to goal simulating a defender tight behind you; receive or bounce a ball, take a decisive directional touch out of the box to the left or right, and strike on target. Coach prescribes 50 total reps (e.g., 5 sets of 10 balls or 10 sets of 5 balls) taking 15-20 minutes, twice weekly.

Key points

  • Take a positive, heavier directional touch outside the defender's reach
  • Practice turning both to the left and right sides using both feet
  • Turn and strike smoothly in a single continuous movement sequence

Common mistakes

Taking too small a touch that remains within the reach of the defender.
