Me and My Ball Brave 1v1 Work hard

Set up

  • One marker and a 60-second timer.

Garden, park.

How to play

  • Dribble to your marker, turn, burst away, come back, repeat.
  • Count each clean, controlled turn.
  • Have 3 goes, best is your baseline, then beat it.

Make it easier

Make it harder

  • Turn chain: link 3 different turns in a row, for example drag-back, Cruyff, outside chop, bursting 3 giant steps between each. Time your fastest clean chain. One heavy touch and the clock starts again.

Three things to say

  • Slow into the turn, fast out of it.

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.
