Soccer: Keepy Ups - 1 (side angle)

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!)

Using alternate feet players should try and repeatedly keep the ball up in the air.

To do so the ball should land on the flat of the foot and be gently kicked in front of the player, ideally without having to step away from where they are stood.

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.

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

Practice with a variety of combinations:

1. Right then left foot
2. Left then right foot
3. Left and left foot
4. Right and right foot
