At a glance

  • You and a second passer stand 8 big steps apart with one ball, each with a shoe goal beside you. Your child stands in the middle.
  • Pass the ball to each other slowly, along the ground. Your child steps in and tries to win it.
  • When your child wins it, they dribble through either shoe goal. Then start passing again.
  • Swap who is in the middle every 2 minutes.
  • Progress 1: Pass faster: one touch each.
  • Progress 2: As well, move to a new spot after every pass.

If it's not working: Stop the ball and count to two before each pass.

Interceptions in 2 minutes. Last time and this time. Only ever compared with their own earlier go, never with anyone else's. Saved on this device only.
