Beat the Roll
A grown-up rolls a ball away. Dribble yours to a line before they fetch theirs.
The grown-up rolls their ball ahead and chases it; you dribble yours to the finish line first.
Set up
- A ball each and a finish line.
Garden, park.
How to play

Make it easier
Make it harder

Three things to say
- Big touches, eyes on the line.
Colts habit
Work hard: little and often beats one long go.
Both feet
Do a round with the practice foot only.
Heads up
Look up between touches.
Safety: Pick a clear, flat space, look out for traffic and hazards, and stop if anything hurts. Soft ball indoors.
My best
Races to the line. Last time and this time. Only ever compared with your own earlier go, never with anyone else. Saved on this device only.
