Take Them On
Eight goes at beating your defender (a marker or a grown-up) with a skill move and a burst.
Set up
- A marker or a grown-up as the defender.
Garden, park.
How to play
- Have 8 goes at beating your defender with a skill move and bursting past in control.
- Count your clean wins out of 8. Note your best and try to beat it.
Make it easier
Make it harder
- Three-touch beat: beat your defender using no more than 3 touches before you've gone past. Any more and it doesn't count.
Three things to say
- Be brave. Even the pros don't beat their defender every time.
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 out of 8, with the date. Only ever compared with your own earlier go, never with anyone else. Saved on this device only.
