Tag Escape
A grown-up gently tries to tag you. Use turns to keep the ball away for 60 seconds.
Clear space and 60 seconds: the grown-up walks after you and you use turns to keep the ball and get away.
Set up

Garden, park.

Make it easier

- Only practice-foot turns.
Three things to say
- Turn away from the tagger, then burst.
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
Seconds with the ball. Last time and this time. Only ever compared with your own earlier go, never with anyone else. Saved on this device only.
