Set up your camera

Phone side-on to you, about 4 metres away at hip height, so you move across the picture. Keep the ball in the picture too.

Your whole body, head to feet, needs to be in the picture. The coach will remind you if it can't see you.

What the coach watches for

  • Lean forward as you flick

    You leaned back, so the ball didn't go over. Lean forward and flick up with your heel.

  • Flick it higher

    The ball barely cleared your head. Roll it higher up your calf before you flick.
