Turning to Protect the Ball [CPTPB]

Description

The player plays a bounce pass with the coach before creating an angle to receive the ball. The player takes their touch down the corridor before performing a turn. The player would perform the turn on the safe side, going back in the direction they came from before passing the ball back to the coach to repeat the process.

Key Coaching Points

Safe Side

The furthers part away from the defender.
If the player has the defender on the left side, the player should keep the ball on the outside of their right foot furtherest away from the defender.

Awareness

Player should be aware of the defenders to make sure the ball is safe.
In situations where there is a second defender, the player should prioritise the closest defender.
