Sometimes to move forwards you need to go backwards. That's why in this training session we work on the reverse turn, to give your players an extra dimension to their game.

Session Goals:
In your next match you would hope to see your players take more care of the ball - no longer trying to blindly take on defenders.

The secondary purpose of this session is to improve support running by the other players in your team, which will make your attacking players more confident when using the reverse turn.
