First Touch Training features a system of drills and concepts that focus solely on developing the most crucial part of any player’s game, their first touch. We develop a sense of calmness and confidence when attempting to control the ball by focusing on the techniques necessary to achieve a mastery of skills and ball control.

This training involves simulated game-like training, futsal skills training, speed and agility drills, plyo-metric activities, and repetition as the basis to strengthen the weaker areas of any player’s game. First Touch Training was developed to address a growing need to increase the skill level and confidence of players in 1 v. 1 situations.
