First Touch

Solo drill to practice receiving and controlling a popped-up ball without a partner.

Key points

  • Juggle, then pop the ball up and make a control touch as it lands.
  • Keep the pop height low to make the first touch easier.
  • Progress to directional first touches once basic control feels solid.
  • Start slow and build confidence through repeated successes.

Common mistakes

Popping the ball too high and making the first touch unnecessarily hard.
