Sharpen your coordination, control, and confidence on the ball with this RB100 Challenge focused on hitting 100 clean touches in a single focused session.
By Editorial Team · · Updated
Intro: Mastery in sport is built on repetition. Whether you’re a footballer working on foot skills or a rugby player honing handling, this challenge is simple: 100 deliberate touches with the ball.
No opponent. No pressure. Just you, the ball, and pure technical refinement.
What Counts as a “Touch”
- For footballers: toe taps, sole rolls, ball juggles, inside/outside foot work
- For rugby: pass and catch reps, handling drills, spin passes to a wall
- Bonus: use both hands or feet to develop ambidexterity
How to Structure It
- Choose 2–3 drills that require control, rhythm, and coordination
- Perform 50 reps on each side (e.g., right foot / left foot, right hand / left hand)
- Track time to complete — aim for quality, not speed
Why This Matters
- Builds confidence under pressure
- Increases sport-specific fitness (agility, balance, timing)
- Reinforces proper body mechanics
- Great for warm-ups, cooldowns, or solo skill sessions
Upgrade It
- Add a partner for passing drills
- Use a wall for rebound challenges
- Add a balance component (e.g., stand on one leg, use a BOSU ball)
