Colour Call

The screen fills with one colour and switches on a timer. Call each new colour out loud without dropping your eyes to the ball.

Peripheral awareness · 8 colours · 2–8s

Beep Test

Shuttle runs between two lines, 20 metres apart, timed to beeps that get closer together every level. Run until you can't hold the pace.

Aerobic fitness · 20 levels · 20m or 15m

Room for more Built so drills can be added one folder at a time. Obvious next ones: numbers and shapes to call, left/right arrows to change direction on, a count of flashes to shout back, and a colour-word mismatch drill that makes the brain work harder than the eyes.

How it works

Prop a phone or tablet at the far end of the court, then work your handles while you call out what the screen is doing. You can't see the change unless you're actually looking up — which is the whole point.
