First Touch - Controlling a High Ball part 2

This is a development of the previous session and begins to put pressure on players receiving a ball in the air. Make sure the service is of good quality. Adjust conditions to suit your group. You may want to ask them to nominate the controlling surface early. Keep reminding players that the keys to success are to get in line with the ball early, to keep their head still and to relax
