The contribution you don't see
Before the touch.
Beyond possession.
An off-ball run can move a defender. A glance can reveal a passing lane. A well-timed signal can change a teammate's next decision.
Ball Physics centres the sporting intelligence of women and girls — before, around and away from possession. Anyone with curiosity about football is welcome.
