Set up
- Warm up for 5 minutes: jog and dribble with close touches.
Garden, park, indoors.
How to play
- Step-over: circle your foot over the ball one way, then push it the other way with the outside of the other foot.
- Scissors: step over the front of the ball, then take it the opposite way. 6 each side.
- Shoulder drop: lean and drop your shoulder one way, then go the other. 8 times.
- Stop-start: dribble, stop dead, then explode. A change of pace beats defenders. 2 minutes.
Make it easier
Make it harder
- Combo: step-over then shoulder drop in one go.
- Practice side: every move with your practice foot too.
- Add the burst: always finish a move with 3 fast touches to get away.
Three things to say
- Sell the move with your body, then change pace: slow, then explosively fast.
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.
For your birth year
Pick a birth year to show the tweak for that group.

Safety: Pick a clear, flat space, look out for traffic and hazards, and stop if anything hurts. Soft ball indoors.
Keeping score: Not counted. Tick the moves you did today.
