Me and My Ball Work hard

Set up

  • Mark a lane about 10 giant steps long. 60-second timer.

Garden, park.

How to play

  • Dribble up and back as many times as you can in 60 seconds, ball under control at each end.
  • Have 3 goes, best is your baseline, then beat it.

Make it easier

Make it harder

  • Sprint-stop chain: run the length, sudden sole-stop, turn, sprint back. Time your fastest clean lap with zero heavy touches, then beat your time twice in a row.

Three things to say

  • Big touches in the space, quick feet to stop, go.

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

Baseline and best, with the date. Only ever compared with your own earlier go, never with anyone else. Saved on this device only.
