Hi, this is Glenn Alpert with Arlington Travel Soccer Club. Now, we are going to discuss using the inside of the thighs for the first touch. So, one way is I am going to toss the soccer ball up. I am going to hit the inside of my thigh and then move laterally to the side. So, toss the ball up, to the inside moving left and I toss the ball up, is the inside of my side moving right, the other way tossing the soccer ball in. let's try it once more, you tossing here.
