Remember the first beach scene in The Karate Kid? If you can avoid short-shorts and the Cobra Kai, soccer in the sand can be a swank way to mix things up. Dribble the ball barefoot for several miles, keeping it as close as possible on the hard sand near the water. Dodge all objects with precision! The challenge it two-fold: the speed of the ball is greater than on grass, and (2) it will roll to one side, toward the water, if you’re not on top of it. It’s about control, especially when there’s a 3-year old and his sand castle in the way. This is a great variation in your running routine as it works your entire lower leg and ankle-stabilizing muscles in a way that linear running cannot recapitulate.
