HOW TO PLAY
1

Form a circle with enough space between players to comfortably pass the ball.

2

Keep the ball aloft using only your feet, aiming to pass it to another player before it touches the ground.

3

Signal the player you intend to pass to, giving them time to position their feet.

4

Unlike a competitive kicking game, the shared goal is to keep a cooperative rally going as long as possible.

5

Count the group's total consecutive passes and try to beat that count on the next attempt.
