Football: Keepy Ups - 1 (front angle)

Players have a ball each and must try to perform one keep up, dropping the ball from waist height and then kicking the ball back into their hands with the lower laces part of their boot.

Players have a ball each and must try to perform one keep and then let the ball bounce before repeating this skill.

To start players drop the ball from waist height and then kick the ball back towards themselves with the lower laces part of their boot. They then allow the ball to bounce and then gently kick the ball up again.

Continue this for as long as possible (players can keep count to see if they beat their personal best!)

When the ball is in the air or bouncing around you want to get the ball on the ground. Doing this requires a soft touch and a general downward motion of your body.

To practice the skill players feed the ball to themselves with a head height throw. As the ball goes up players raise their foot to meet the ball at around waist height.

As the ball comes down also lower your foot so that you are cushioning the ball - trying to maintain contact between your foot and the ball until it reaches the ground.

Players have a ball each and must try to perform two keepy ups, dropping the ball from waist height and then kicking the ball twice with the same foot. The second kick should be targeted back into their hands with the lower laces part of their boot.

Try performing the double kicks with both feet. Two left feet keep ups and catch followed by two right feet kick ups and catch the ball.
