"I think we might want to work on… dribbling the ball first," Braeden decided as Emma asked what they were going to do first. He looked down at the football he was holding in both hands and made a face - they were going to need another one. And so, he put the football down on the ground and duplicated it with a wave of his wand, so they each had a football. "Oh - I suppose I should tell you the most basic rule first, though," said Braeden. "You can never, ever, touch the ball with your hands. If you do, you're out of the game - unless you're the goalkeeper," he explained with one of those goofy smiles of his that made it hard to take him seriously. "You can only use your feet, knees, and your head… Though I don't recommend using your head if you're just learning… Broken noses aren't very fun," he said with a soft chuckle.

Anyway. "I'm going to dribble the ball for a few feet, you just look at what I do - my feet, specifically - and then try to copy it, alright?" he said. This was sort of strange; Braeden had never taught anyone how to play football. Or how to play anything, really. But he hoped he wouldn't fail miserably at this, he didn't want to let Emma down or have her think he was a lame teacher or anything.
