What this week is about
The first week is all about each child and their own ball: little touches that keep the ball close to their feet. Every game has a ball for every child, and nobody sits out. As in every practice, we finish with a 3 v 3 game.
The board has this week's full plan. Change any step by dragging something else onto it.
