HOW TO PLAY
1

Players form a circle and use only their feet, knees, chest, and head to keep the woven ball off the ground, never touching it with their hands.

2

Pass the ball to different players around the circle with controlled kicks, aiming to keep a smooth rally going.

3

Players can show off skill by juggling the ball briefly on one foot or knee before passing it onward.

4

If the ball touches the ground, the player who last touched it, or the one closest, restarts the rally with a toss-up kick.

5

Groups can keep a running count of consecutive touches without a drop and try to beat their own best streak.
