- Find a flat, uncrowded place and practise holding a balanced stance.
- Bounce the ball slowly, then change hands when comfortable.
- Check your partner is ready before making a gentle chest pass.
A useful tip: Control matters more than speed. Look up between dribbles, and begin close to a partner.
These are ideas for exploring techniques, not a required workout. Stay in a safe space, take breaks and ask a coach or trusted adult for guidance when helpful.
