How it works

The challenge

  1. Find a solid wall.Stand two big steps back from it.
  2. Pass it in, control it back.Right foot, then left. Every pass and every first touch counts as a touch.
  3. Time it to 100.Get someone to time you. Ball gets away from you? Go get it. The clock keeps running.
  4. Log it, then beat it.Write your time in your journal each week. In Week 4, log Week 1 and Week 4 here.

Level up

Too easy? Take another step back and play it one-touch. No stopping the ball.

"Stay on your toes, not your heels. A good first touch buys you time. A bad one gives it to the other team."

Jack, founder
Play safe. Warm up first and train within your limits. Pick a solid wall away from roads, windows and cars.

The 4 digits after your name. Lost it? Leave this blank. Same name and email gets you the same ID back.

We keep your first name, badge, results and the email you give, so you keep the same ID. We email that address once to check it's OK. Your first name only goes on the leaderboard after they say yes. Until then you show as PLAYER and your ID. If nobody says yes within 30 days, we delete it all. If you're in the club, your parent also gets one short email a month on how you did. Want it removed?
