Soccer Drills for Kids - First Touch with the Outer Thigh
Glenn Alpert: Hi! This is Glenn Alpert with Arlington Travel Soccer Club. Now we are going to talk about using the first touch with the outside of the thigh. So, I have the ball, I'm going to toss it up to myself and we are going to use the outside of the thigh to move laterally away from pressure. Notice, I'm not just having in the center, I'm actually using the outside of the thigh, about where my stripes are on my shots. Okay, toss me the soccer ball Adam, once more.
So, I'm able to move to the side. Now Adam toss it to yourself; good. Now, William will toss you the ball stand about right here. Okay, ready now move with your first touch away from pressure. Let's do that again, ready. Once more, watch out Adam, make sure he move to this side, very good that's better. Okay, one more time and then we are done. Okay, ready William, now move this way, one more time. Alright, next we are going to talk about using our chest with our first touch.
