Juggling Ladder and Cool-down

Objective

• Wind down, and end on a personal target that carries into the week

Set-up and how it runs

• Everyone with a ball, spread out, walking pace.
• Ninety seconds of juggling: count your best run, then try to beat it once.
• Then thirty seconds each of thigh-only and weak-foot-only.
• Finish with a static stretch and a two-minute debrief — what the session was about, what they will take into Saturday.

Equipment

• A ball each

Coaching points

• Keep it below waist height and under control
• Weak foot counts double towards your target
• Beat your own number, not someone else's
