How to Play

STEP 1The coach calls out different “magic tricks” for the Auskickers to follow.

For example:

• Figure eight - move the ball in between and around the outside of each leg, like a number 8.

• Wrap the ball around your body - move it around you in a circle shape.

• Throw the ball up - clap before catching it or catch it behind your back.

• Pass the ball - side-to-side with a partner or through the legs.

• Hopping or Robot walks!
