⚽️ HOW TO improve keepy uppies!
Keepy uppies are a brilliant way to develop control, weight of touch, and coordination with the ball!
Here are 5 levels to help children improve their skills step by step while building confidence:
1️⃣ Bounce, Kick, Catch!
Start simple. Let the ball bounce once between each kick, then catch it. Focus on using one foot to build rhythm and control.
2️⃣ Bounce, Kick, Bounce, Kick, Catch!
When they’re ready, add more kicks with a bounce in between. Challenge them to see how many they can do before catching. Encourage them to use both feet!
3️⃣ Bounce, Kick, Kick, Catch!
Take it up a notch by removing the bounce between kicks. Keep the ball in the air for two kicks before catching. Start with one foot, then progress to alternating feet.
4️⃣ Kick, Kick, Catch!
Now it’s time to remove the bounce entirely! Focus on keeping the ball in the air for two or more kicks, catching it after.
5️⃣ All In!
With their confidence sky-high, challenge...
