How to coach back foot receiving

This is an activity we’ll be using this month at Foot-Tech which aims to help players receive the ball on the back foot.

This is massive for children to learn at a young age.

The next time you watch a game on TV count how many times a player takes the ball on the back-foot (the foot furthest away from the passer).

The best players are those that can take the ball on the half-turn and move the ball forwards – Phil Foden is a player to watch on this.

This is a fun activity for coaches to use and it can easily be adapted for abilities and ages.
