Organisation

• Divide the group into pairs; one football per pair
• Each player in turn bounces and catches the ball and hands it to their partner
• Alternatively, one player in each pair bounces the ball repeatedly for one minute, catching the ball securely after each bounce   
• The second player in each pair counts the successful attempts by their partner
• Players switch play after 1 minute
