Check and receive
Step 1 of 2
The receiver checks toward the ball, sees the defender position, and presents a side-on body shape.
Coaching points
- Scan before the pass so the first touch protects the ball rather than inviting pressure.
- Use the arm and body legally to feel where the defender is before turning.
- After the turn, take the finishing touch toward goal and shoot with balance.
