Make it easier

Make it harder

  • Use the other foot only.

Three things to say

  • React fast, then small touches to bring the ball home.

Colts habit

Work hard: ten swaps flat out.

Both feet

Other foot only round.

Heads up

Look up for the other ball on Swap!

Safety: Look up to avoid bumps. Play outdoors on soft ground.
