Practice games

Rate My Touch

A grown-up (or a wall) feeds you 10 balls. Score yourself out of 10 for clean, close touches.

At home 10 min 1 to 2 players Garden Park On your own With a grown-up 2016 to 2019

Pass, Receive, Heads Up Work hard

Set up

  • A grown-up ready to throw or roll, or a wall.

Garden, park.

How to play

  • Take 10 balls. Kill each one dead with one touch (foot, thigh or chest) into your control zone, about two steps.
  • Give each touch a score out of 10 for how clean and close it was.
  • Write down your best score, then keep going and push for a perfect 10. Make the throws harder as you improve: start gentle, then higher and to the sides.

Make it easier

Make it harder

  • Blind first touch: a grown-up throws the ball and holds up fingers at the same moment. Call the number out loud and kill the ball dead inside 2 giant steps, all in one touch.

Three things to say

  • Soft foot, ball close. That's a top touch.

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: Throws below head height. No heading.

My best

Baseline and best out of 10, with the date. Only ever compared with your own earlier go, never with anyone else. Saved on this device only.
