Laundry Basket Target
Pass the ball into a laundry basket on its side, moving to a new spot each go.
At a glance
- Lay a laundry basket on its side. Mark a spot three big steps away with a shoe.
- Your child passes the ball into the basket with the inside of the foot, using both feet.
- After every try they move to a new spot and go again.
- Count how many go in out of 10.
- Progress 1: Pass with the practice foot only.
- Progress 2: Dribble a few steps, then pass into the basket without stopping the ball.
If it's not working: Start two big steps from the basket instead of three.

My best
In the basket out of 10. Last time and this time. Only ever compared with their own earlier go, never with anyone else's. Saved on this device only.
