Me and My Ball Work hard

Set up

  • A ball each.

Garden, park.

How to play

  • The grown-up dribbles and you copy every move.
  • Swap: you lead and they copy.
  • Try to catch each other out with a sudden turn or stop.

Make it easier

Make it harder

  • The leader can only use the practice foot.

Three things to say

  • Watch the leader, not the ball.

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.

Keeping score: Not counted. Play it for fun.
