When the ball is coming towards a player, the first time they touch it.

Literally your first touch of the ball when receiving a pass.

I'll use it in a sentence:

"Eddie Johnson has the first touch of a garage door."

What the other responses say but I'll add that it's one of the most significant skills in the game that separates the good players from the absolutely elite ones.


When you read people on boards like this saying that the USA is behind the soccer bluebloods in terms of technical skills, the consistent ability to put the ball exactly where you want it with your first touch is key among those skills.
