as times as possible without letting it fall??

Is there a verb for that ability now mainly practiced by professional football players when they are introduced in their new team's field for the first time?

Thanks

It's called keep-up or keepy uppy if you can use your back and head and knees too. Google "keepy uppy" to see countless examples.

keepy ups

Thank you all.

So would the following question be right?

How many keepy-ups can you do?

I'd say "how many keepy-uppies..."

Whoever compiled that list of "soccer" terms must be on some serious medication.
