Three minutes to get warm.

Easy jogging on the spot, then arms and legs. How to warm up well is explained at workonfitness.com.

1. Circle the ankles and swing each leg gently to warm up the hips.
2. With no ball, turn the knee out and lift the foot so its inside faces up and stays flat.
3. Drop the ball onto the inside of the foot, tap it up to hip height and catch it.

Show it once from the front and once from the side, slowly. Then let your child try.

1. Warm up the ankles, hips and hamstrings.
2. Dry run the inside kick with no ball: knee out, inside of the foot up and flat.
3. Drop the ball, kick it once to hip height and catch it.
4. One foot, then the other, then alternate.
5. Then juggle.
