Danail Parvanov juggled a size 1 soccer ball with his legs for 30 minutes and 5 seconds in Sofia, Bulgaria. A size 1 ball is the smallest standard football, roughly half the diameter of a match ball, which makes half an hour of continuous leg juggling a serious feat of touch and stamina. RecordSetter verified the video as a single unbroken take: fixed camera, no cuts, and an on-screen clock advancing without discontinuity from start to finish.

Danail Parvanov kept a rugby ball in the air for 220 consecutive foot touches in Sofia, Bulgaria. A rugby ball's oval shape makes every bounce unpredictable, which is what separates this from ordinary soccer keepie uppies: each touch has to correct the wobble the last one created. He averaged about 2.4 touches per second across a single unbroken 90-second take, with a cadence consistent from first touch to last.

A young player heads a soccer training ball twice in a row in a Melbourne living room, holding the ball's cord in one hand to control it. Slowed down frame by frame, the clip shows both headers landing less than a quarter of a second apart, comfortably inside the one-second window. A few warm-up swings come first, then the ball drops and two quick nods send it back up.

William Cain sits cross-legged on a backyard deck in Melbourne with a tethered soccer training ball resting between his knees, then slaps it with alternating open hands at a furious pace. The whole burst lasts just under ten seconds from the first hit to the last. We counted 110 slaps from the clip, matching each audible hit against the footage. That works out to about eleven slaps every second.

Kyle B. performed 166 consecutive soccer ball juggles in one minute in FIFA 14.

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.
