One of the fastest ways to transport the ball from side of the field to the other is to run with the ball but bouncing a round ball every 15 meters requires skill.
When the ground is wet and the ball will NOT bounce back at you, you are allowed to touch the ball down on the ground with it in your hands.
Steps on how to bounce the football
- Hold the ball as you would kick a drop punt.
- With your guiding (dominant) hand guide the ball to the ground.
- The top bottom part of the ball should hit the ground.
- The ball should be aimed in front of you so when you run, it will bounce back to you comfortably.
Extra tips:
- Like most skills, being able to bounce the ball using both hands is important.
- Depending on how fast you ran depends on how far you need to bounce the ball away from you.
- At the end of the day you want to reach a level were you can bounce the ball and catch it without looking at the ball.
