PE at Home Without a Gym or a Pitch

The honest question before any of this is whether it fits where you live. Every drill in the curriculum records the footprint it actually needs, so you can measure your yard and check — before you subscribe, rather than after.

A narrow side yard hemmed in by a fence and the house wall, where a teenager does close footwork over a folded towel while a parent watches from the back doorway. — Twelve feet by twenty, a fence, a drainpipe and a bin. This is the space most of the catalog is written for.

All 48 solo drills fit a 45 × 30 ft yard

Solo drills are the ones one child can run alone, warm-up through cool-down. The rest of the catalogue needs a partner or more room. Pick a space below, or type your own size.

ft × ft

A soccer ball Size 5 for U14 and up. The one thing nothing else can stand in for.
Cones or markers Or shoes, water bottles, or chalk marks. The drills name household substitutes rather than assuming you own kit.
A wall or rebounder A garage door or a fence works. The drills that rebound off a surface say so in their own setup.
A soft or foam ball Heading practice specifies a foam ball. Youth heading guidance is built into the drill, not left to you.

Footprints are measured from each drill’s own setup instructions and stored with the drill, so this counter reflects the live catalog rather than a marketing estimate. Dimensions work in either orientation. The warm-up every session opens with, the heading rules and the weekly load ceilings are on the safety page.

What to do if the number is low

A small space narrows the catalog; it does not end the programme. The solo training set is the part designed for home, and it is the part that carries the documented hours.

A teenager doing lateral steps between two socks laid on the carpet of an ordinary hallway, with a radiator and a doorway in frame.

Indoors, on carpet or tile Ball-mastery work — toe taps, sole rolls, close control — needs a few feet and a soft ball. It is the same skill work, at a lower speed.
Winter, in a basement or a garage Pick Basement or Garage above to see what fits a 15 × 15 ft basement under a low ceiling or a 22 × 20 ft garage with a wall: twelve of the drills were written for exactly those rooms, and the phone still counts wall passes and toe taps there. In the app, Winter training: indoors on Child Settings plans the session, the Weekly Planner and the Season for that space until spring, and keeps the backyard settings for when the ground is back.
A driveway or a path Long and narrow suits dribbling, weaving and passing against a wall. The counter works in either orientation, so try your measurements both ways round.
A park, once a week The activities that genuinely need room are the group games and 1-on-1 sessions. Many families do the solo drills at home and take the wider ones out.
Either way, it still counts Documented instructional time is documented instructional time. A drill finished on a driveway is logged exactly like one finished on grass.
