Movin' And Groovin'

Ever heard of freestyle football? It's sort of circus tricks with a football.

And of course, being an offshoot of football its not simply a matter of learning a few tricks. There are a whole set of disciplines around it:

• Lowerbody/Air Moves - The ball is kept aloft using mainly the feet and legs.
• Upperbody - Most tricks are done with the head , chest and shoulders.
• Sitting - All tricks are executed while sitting on the floor with your legs in the air, and the inability to move after the ball greatly increases the difficulty of any trick performed.
• Groundmoves - These are normal football moves , but then executed without an opponent. Skillful players can make the performance of groundmoves seem like a choreographed dance.

It's a more sophisticated form of "keepie uppie", an art form we all know was brought to the planet by cyber men.

Seems to me something like this would provide much better half time entertainment than what is currently rolled out at football matches. For example, when I went to watch the Foxes play at Barnsley last season we spent about 20 minutes watching people trying to kick a ball at a pretend shed. I mean.............duh! ...... what is that about?

Bit of urban freestyling instead would be pretty groovy I reckon.
