First Touch Challenge

Low pass. First contact with ball. Anticipation.

Two players each set up a cone square. The distance between the cones is about 2 to 3 metres.

The two players compete against each other: After a low pass through the four cones (1), the opponent has to pass the ball to the side with the first contact (2) so that the next pass through the cone square is possible (3). He can play the first contact to the left or to the right. After the pass (3) through the square, the competition form continues until a player makes a mistake and can no longer pass through the square. If a player fails to make first contact with the ball or passes incorrectly, the opponent is awarded a point.

The passes should not be played too sharply so that a fair and above all technical competition is created.

Pay attention to fair passes.
Play the first contact with the ball in an optimal starting position.
Observe the opponent and anticipate the passes.
Form fair groups of two.

Play the competition with 3 ball contacts.
Vary the distances between the cones.
Instead of a square, a triangle can be set up.
