• Receive the ball with the backfoot in an open body position
• Play with your head up so you can see how quickly the attacker is pressuring you and decide whether or not you have time to take a touch

• What part of the foot should you be controlling and passing the ball with?
• What body position should you be in when receiving the ball?
• How do you know how much time you have on the ball?
