Have you ever seen a young soccer player practicing on his or her own?

It’s a rare sight. Yet so much can be done. Just look at the illustrations. It doesn’t need too much imagination to work out the possibilities.

On your own – target kicking (or throwing for a goalkeeper); one and two touch play.

With two of you – soccer squash as a competitive game or keep the ball rolling to set your cooperative record.

Devise your own games.

Now. Just where is that wall we can practice on around here? If your own home is not suitable (and you don’t want to upset Mom) we’ll bet our last dollar there’s one not very far from your home (School? Park?).
