Aerial First Touch Bank

Ball Mastery & 1v1 · U13–U19

Obj: Cushioning driven and lofted service dead with foot, thigh, and chest — deposit touches in the "bank" (tracked reps). Field: 20×15yd per group of 3. Equip: Balls (3 per group), cones. Org: Server alternates lofted and driven balls; receiver cushions to a playable second touch, then plays to the third player who becomes the next server (rotation triangle). Bank scoring: a touch that lands within one step = deposit; a bouncing escape = withdrawal. First to 15 net deposits rotates the serve intensity up. CP: (1) Read flight early, move feet first — arrive before the ball; (2) receiving surface gives on contact (foot drops, thigh drops, chest caves); (3) touch into your next action's space, not straight down. Prog: Receive under a passive shadowing defender; receive-and-turn on the half-volley; weak-foot-only round. Reg: Hand-thrown serves; catch-height feeds. Mist: P: rigid surface at contact (ball ricochets); C: garbage service — coach serves for strugglers, quality in = quality out. Time: 14 min. Out: 30+ aerial receptions each; surface selection automatic. Var: GK-driven service (real match flight); competition — consecutive-deposit streaks. Diag: Triangle of three players, arced service trajectories, cushion-touch icons at receiver.

The 3-point rule: pick your three coaching points before the session and be ready to answer for them (Manual 5.4).
