Set up three lines of three across the pitch.
The players on the half way line start with the ball and pass up to player 2's feet. Player 2 controls the ball and turns (where possible with just one touch) and plays a one-two (wall pass) with player 3.
Upon receiving the return pass player 2 shoots first time.
Make sure players 2 signals on which side they would like the return to pass.
After one run through players rotate up one position - so players 2 will move to the half way line and players 1 will be on the edge of the 18 yard box.
Complete this drill at full pace.

A player's first touch determines everything that follows: whether they can play forward, turn, or simply retain the ball. This article explores why training first touch in isolation is not enough, and how to design sessions that develop this critical skill under realistic game pressure.
