Keepy Uppy: The Game is based on the tried and tested formula of keep-up, and its inspiration is both its biggest strength and hardest challenge. The game undoubtedly has universal and enduring appeal, but does it need any more than a ball and hours of patient practice? The answer lies in Keepy Uppy's winning combination of street-wise style, gadgets and spectacular stunts, all working within rules designed to reward the best combination of hard work and flair. The goal is to beat your opponent in three of five challenges that are all variations on the basic premise of juggling the ball without going outside the circle or using your arm or hands. The challenges range from straightforward to more complicated set pieces and freestyling tricks, one of which involves removing and replacing your shirt, and doing a few press ups in between, all the while keeping the ball trapped still on the back of your neck.
The package includes a ball, a pop-out skill circle (which can be folded down for storage), a counter/timer and a comprehensive guide to the rules, including yellow and red card pages for issuing fouls. You might not become Keepy Uppy King (or Queen) without putting in serious practice time, but it will be great fun trying. --Steve Napleton

cheesy keepy uppy This is a game that seemed to promise family fun--well it is if all you wnat to do is juggle a soccer ball--you would be better off getting a good soccer ball and putting a square of fabric or an old tablecloth on the floor and juggling your soccer ball with out going off the mat--that's pretty much the game!
Cool! Excellent fun. Encourages use of physical skills and brain. DVD would be nice especially for the younger generation! Product info seems to be amended now! Excellent for budding footie stars (or older wanna bes) on xmas day.
Great fun Fantastic fun - I played this for hours with my kids.
Fun for the lads Bought this for my 8 year old nephew, but he got pushed aside by my husband, brother, son-in-law etc. Great fun, there is no DVD included though, which makes it an expensive fooball.
