If you ever played football as a child, keepy-uppie contests were probably a big part of your life for a little while.
There's something about the blend of skill and competitive spirit that appeals to us all, and the activity can immediately transport you back to the jumpers-for-goalposts games of your youth.
Someone else who uses keepy-uppies to make her feel young again is Norwegian Åse Marie Nordhagen.
The great-grandmother, who has recently entered her nineties, has a personal record of more than 1,000 but now practices her skills just for fun.

"I can't go past the ball in the hallway without picking it up and doing a few keepy-uppies," Nordhagen told Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet.
"It takes me back to my childhood," she added.
