We had a great first practice. Lots of credit to our two new players, they are picking things up fast.

Our goal is to build great habits with the ball through short, daily practice.
Kids should use a stopwatch (or phone timer ⏱️) to see how many touches they can get in 60 seconds.
Try to practice at least 5 days per week and write down scores to track improvement.

Please view the Skills page for a demonstration of the first 3 drills.
