Level 2 Exercises

Doing these exercises will help you become really good at some core skills that we need for futsal. This is intended to be fun and challenging – it’s entirely optional for you to do. It’s important to enjoy the process and not worry if you make mistakes. Remember that making mistakes is part of learning, and the more you practice, the better you will become. Try to break down the exercises into small chunks and focus on completing just one or two challenges at a time. As you complete the challenges, tick them off in your booklet. 

If you need help with any of these, come and ask us in class.
