How to do it

When someone is about to kick the ball, run close to them, put your two hands together with fingers pointing down, and block the ball! Stay on your feet and be brave! 🛡️

For Parents & Coaches

Close the Gap

Get as close to the kicker as possible before they kick. The closer you are, the easier the block.

Hands Together

Put both hands together with fingers pointing down to cover as much area as possible.

Turn Sideways

Turn your body slightly sideways to make yourself a bigger barrier and protect your face.
