Keep-Up Queen

Get your first ten juggles, then keep going.

About Keep-Up Queen

Five drills that build up to your first 10 keep-ups in a row. Use them as much or as little as you like — the button is for 10 in a row, shown to Glen or Jeff.

Train

Open one skill. Tick it when you've worked it.

Flick Up

Coach cues

  • Roll it onto your toe first
  • Flick, don't kick
  • Catch it or control it, don't chase it

Try for

10 clean flick-ups in a row.

Why this skill?

Getting the ball off the ground onto your foot, cleanly, every time.

Foot Stall

Coach cues

  • Soft foot, let the ball sink in
  • Hold it a full second before moving on
  • Both feet, not just your strong one

Try for

Stall and hold for 2 full seconds, 5 times in a row.

Why this skill?

Cushioning the ball dead still on top of your foot — the stop between touches.

One Touch Catch

Coach cues

  • Toes up, ankle locked
  • Knee height, not higher
  • Catch it clean, don't let it bounce

Try for

5 clean one-touch-and-catch reps in a row.

Why this skill?

One juggle, then catching it — building the height and control you need before stringing touches together.

Two Touch Alternating Catch

Coach cues

  • Alternate feet every touch
  • Keep it at knee height
  • Catch before it drops, don't chase it down

Try for

5 clean two-touch-alternating reps in a row.

Why this skill?

Two juggles, alternating feet, before catching — the bridge to a real string of keep-ups.

All Together

Coach cues

  • Count out loud
  • Start again from one whenever it drops
  • Relax — tense legs kick it away

Try for

10 juggles in a row, no catching.

Why this skill?

Stringing everything together into a real string of keep-ups, no catching.
