To ensure your child has everything they need to participate fully in the program, we require them to come equipped with a uniform (which is included in the registration fee), size 3 soccer ball, shin guards, and sneakers. Please note that cleats are not permitted in our co-ed program.
The team with the higher possession percentage will often win games. If you have a good first touch, you will be able to add to those possession numbers since you will be able to keep the flow of the possession going.
An effortless first touch will greatly reduce the amount of turnovers that you concede since you will be able to shield the ball quicker and get past your opponents. That quick first touch will force your opponents to respect your skills and they will often stay further back in fear of you getting past them.
As you can probably tell by now, having a good first touch can do wonders for your overall game. It can make you a better passer, shooter, and all-around better teammate. The first touch skill is something that every player needs to work on at every practice so they are prepared when it comes time to use it in games.
