A short spoken walk-through of this drill.

Goal
Score with a clean strike after a single, purposeful touch that sets the ball at a 45-degree angle.
Setup
Place a rebounder or partner 15 yards from the goal. Player A stands 3-5 yards away from the rebounder, facing the goal.
Drill Instructions
1. Player A passes the ball into the rebounder and receives it back. 2. Perform two quick, one-touch return passes to establish rhythm. 3. On the third return, take a 'positive touch' out of your feet to the side of the rebounder. 4. Immediately follow the touch with a finish on goal.
Coach Tip
Keep your head up as you take the positive touch to spot the goalkeeper's position.
Avoid
Taking a touch that goes too far away or stays directly under your body.
