Soccer Ball World Records

Isaac R. balanced a soccer ball on his foot for 26 minutes, 46.94 seconds.

Raz, a border collie, waits at the mouth of a blue dog agility tunnel in a backyard in Melbourne, Australia, at night, with a tennis ball in his mouth and a red soccer ball just inside the entrance. He dives in, pushes the ball the full length of the tunnel out of the camera's view, and pops out the far end as the ball rolls on into a mini soccer goal. Timed from the video, from the first frame with Raz standing still to the moment the ball is in the net, the run takes 5 seconds. Part agility run, part shot on goal.

Raz, a border collie, works a small black-and-white soccer ball around a backyard training pen of artificial turf and red panels in Melbourne, Australia, with a tennis ball held in his mouth throughout. Partway through the 20-second run he sets one front paw on top of the ball, rolls it across, and passes it straight to his other front paw in one quick motion, the sole roll soccer players use to shift the ball from foot to foot. Checked frame by frame, the clip is one continuous, unedited take, and the whole move lasts under a second. According to his owner, this is the trick that gave Rollover Raz Entertainment its name.

Raz, a border collie in Melbourne, Australia, leaps a timber rail to chase a red-and-white soccer ball, then turns and dribbles it back across the grass. He rolls the ball beneath the rail and jumps over after it, completing the out-and-back in 9 seconds, timed from the video from his outward takeoff to his return landing. The ball takes the low road; Raz takes the high one.

Raz, a border collie, trots up to a wooden equestrian cross-country table in a grassy field in Melbourne, Australia, crouches at its base and scrambles onto the top, where a red-and-white soccer ball is waiting. Standing on the tabletop, he paws the ball over the front edge and it drops to the grass below. Timed frame by frame from the video, 1.2 seconds pass between his push off the ground and the ball leaving the table. The jump is built for horses; Raz handles it like a step.

Lily, a golden retriever, and Raz, a border collie, chase a black soccer ball around their backyard in Melbourne, Australia, each with a toy in its mouth. Lily strikes the ball with a front paw at about 14 and 25 seconds into the 54-second clip, and Raz paws it on at about 23, 36 and 51 seconds, with family members rolling or kicking it back into play between turns. Checked frame by frame, the single continuous take shows both dogs kicking the ball with their paws, for a total of 2 dogs. Neither dog drops its toy to do it.

William Cain kicks a soccer training ball on a cord straight up in his Melbourne living room and jumps to meet it with his head on the way down. Counted frame by frame, the ball leaves his foot and lands on his head 22 frames later, 0.73 seconds at the video's 30 frames per second. Blink and you'd miss the whole thing.
