Receiving across your body or the back foot!
One of the most important thing to be able to do as a soccer player is receive the ball across your body. It is one of the basic skills but one of the most important. Why? Because as you can see from the video receiving across your body allows you to have options with the ball like passing, turning, or even getting a shot off. Coaches please emphasis this to your players as this skill is vital for any player wanting to play at a higher level than recreational soccer.
We always emphasis this in training sessions so that players have an understanding and confidence to do it in a game.
