Three things to say

  • Keep your ball on the far side of your body and look for theirs.

Colts habit

Be brave: go for their ball.

Both feet

Keep the ball on the far foot, whichever that is.

Heads up

Look for their ball while you protect yours.

Safety: Grown-ups go at half speed, feet only, no leaning on your child.

My best

Saves and taps in 30 seconds. Last time and this time. Only ever compared with your own earlier go, never with anyone else. Saved on this device only.
