Keep It Up For Soccer Aid
In the run up to Soccer Aid 2010, the man behind the it all, Robbie Williams, is setting you a challenge: to help the world’s poorest children and Keep it Up for Soccer Aid.
Returning from a visit to Haiti with UNICEF, where he made an appeal film which will be shown in full during the Soccer Aid match on Sunday 6 June, Robbie, a UNICEF UK Ambassador, said:
“Everyone knows I’m a massive football fan, and now I’m asking everyone to join Keep it Up for Soccer Aid. It’s really simple: do as many sponsored keepy uppys as you can and raise bucket loads of money to help make a real difference to the lives of kids all over the world, including the fantastic young people that I met in Haiti.”
Watch the video below in which Robbie introduces Keep It Up For Soccer Aid from Haiti
So, what is a 'keepy-uppy'?
Keepy-uppy is the skill of using your feet, legs, knees, chest, shoulders and head to juggle a ball without allowing it to hit the ground. It's not easy, but it's a lot of fun trying! Check out Robbie below.
Sound impossible?
Don’t worry if football skills aren’t your thing. Whether you’re a beginner, a pro or have two left feet there’s a Keep it Up for Soccer Aid challenge for you. Choose your challenge today - scroll down for some ideas we've put together to get the ball rolling!
Raise over £50 and you could be at Soccer Aid as a VIP!
Raise at least £50 and send your money in to UNICEF by Monday 31 May and you will be put into the draw to win a VIP Soccer Aid experience, including the chance to meet the players at their training session in London and a trip to Old Trafford to watch the match at the Theatre Of Dreams.
Share your photos and videos
Don't forget to capture your historic moment of perfecting your keepy-uppys on camera - whether you take photos or shoot a short video, we want to see it all!
You can add your photos and videos to both RobbieWilliams.com (just log in to add them to your profile) and to SoccerAid.org.uk.
Share your photos and videos of your keepy-uppy capers and we’ll put our favourites in the Keepy-Uppy Hall of Fame.

Choose your challenge
There’s a Keep it Up for Soccer Aid challenge for everyone - whether you're a rising football star, or you can't tell your off-side from your backside. We've got the ball rolling with a few ideas for you to choose from below, or of course you can think up your own new and unique challenge. Once you're decided what your challenge will be, register it online at Soccer Aid's website.
For the pros (think Pele, Maradona, Beckham!)
1. Take on Robbie Williams’ challenge and set yourself a difficult keepy-uppy goal.
2. Make the challenge even harder by using a tennis ball!
3. Try to do as many keepy-uppys as you can blindfolded.
4. Practice for the World Cup and shoot sponsored penalties too.
5. Challenge yourself to an hour of keepy-uppys.
For the beginners (think Brooklyn Beckham, Kai Rooney!)
Challenge your friends or colleagues to Keep it Up for Soccer Aid and set yourself a fundraising target.
1. Organise the biggest keepy-uppy event your town has ever seen.
2. Do keepy-uppys in fancy dress.
3. Dribble a football from home to school or work.
4. Have a keepy-uppy competition at work with colleagues and charge an entry fee to help you reach your target.
5. Try keepy-uppys with a balloon.
6. Set a realistic target like five or ten keepy uppys in a row and get practising.
Keep it Up for everyone
If you aren’t a keepy-uppy pro or have two left feet there are lots of ways that you can get involved, get fit and raise funds. Why not set yourself a challenge by making a healthy living pledge and Keep it Up for Soccer Aid.
1. Give up chocolate / TV / alcohol for 6 weeks and keep it up!
2. Keep up walking, running or cycling to school or work for a whole month.
Remember to register your challenge online at www.socceraid.org.uk/keepitup.
When you register for Soccer Aid 2010, UNICEF UK will send you a t-shirt and fundraising pack to help you get started with your chosen challenge.
We want to see you - grab your camera!
Whether you’ve dressed up as a doughnut, done four thousand keepy-uppys or got your whole school or workplace involved, we want to see what you’ve been up to.
Upload your videos and photos along with a description of your challenge to YouTube and Flickr and Soccer Aid will share them with fellow fundraisers on the Keep it Up for Soccer Aid group and channel.

how fast did that go? two weeks have past & still I am not smoking! giving up for unicef has done it I'm smoke free now. my kids are doing well doing fit things & not doing the things they would norm do, they are doing so well they would like to do one more week! my kids have got me lots to do like make things, so they can sell at school, this helped me stop the smoking too. one day I got so lost I needed a smoke, but I didnt I did a Tattoo to keep my hands going with no smoking!! I found that the more we did (the kids got me to do) the less I needed to smoke!! That's a point I need to take this money to the bank so I can pay it in! Our tickets came for soccer aid, now that did it for the kids they cant stop going on about it. My mid-child said she was not bothered & if I said she cant go if she was bad she would just say I dont wont to go. But when the tickets came she changed, she said she will be as good as gold!! she can't sleep prop as she keeps thinking about the game!! I think next time I will not tell them I have tickets just take them lol. http://www.supportunicef.org.uk/we_are_giving_up_for_unicef

que onda robbie bien x lo q estas hasiendo but you know i see you bad is enseryes a.t.t maruwilliams and take care with ayda good luck
This is great Rob<3 I think if you'r owning a lot of money, it's your duty to do something to help needing people. Just thinking about how many children that dies every day because their not have enough food. It's braking my heart and I have made myself an promise that I will, (If i get rich) Give half of it away to charity or be a fadder). Good Luck with the Game, I honestly must say that I want England to win, even tho I'm from Sweden. Both you and Westlife will be in England! LOVE FROM AN ANGEL!
btw like the baseball cap- where can you get such a cap?! I would love one!
Mr Williams, I think it's wonderful that you are doing so much to encourage others to give to causes such as Haiti. God has placed you in such a prominent position and you can wield that position as a force for good because you are such a role model for many. I pray that God will use you in amazing ways to demonstrate His love to a hurting, broken, suffering world. I have all faith that God will use you as His instrument in this arena. God is faithful and promises to hear our requests that are in keeping with His will (1 John 5v.14-15). God is love (1 John 4.v.8) and I think its awesome that His love is flowing through you to fellow humans. I guess the real challenge is how much we are prepared to sacrifice (be that money, time, I've got a lot to learn here!!) Diggin' all the charity work - long may you keep it up!! God bless Fragrant.
