Your first touch
Your first touch – forward receiving
Three things are important
Because we are running towards goal, it is important to make sure your feet are pointing towards the goal
When receiving, let the ball roll past the body and receive in front of your body so you can continue running towards the goal
Make sure the stick is there before the ball comes
