The Freestyle Footballers were excited to host a special two-hour freestyle football workshop at Panna USA in New York City. The day was led by professional freestyle performers Nick Seyda from New Jersey and Tim Hoekman from The Netherlands, who came together to inspire and entertain the next generation of ballers.
From the very start, the energy was electric. Even though freestyle football and panna are two different disciplines, the kids were eager to try out a mix of both. While Nick and Tim aren’t specialized in panna, they couldn’t resist jumping into the action — and it turned into an unforgettable experience filled with creativity, laughter, and plenty of nutmegs.
One of the highlights of the day was the freestyle showcase prepared especially for the kids. After weeks of practice, Nick and Tim delivered a performance packed with dynamic skills, smooth combos, and jaw-dropping tricks. The reactions said it all — the kids were amazed, cheering and clapping along every step of the way.
Beyond the showcase, the workshop was all about interaction. Nick and Tim guided the kids through freestyle basics, challenged them with fun games, and encouraged them to push their limits while enjoying the ball. The smiles, laughter, and excitement proved how powerful freestyle can be in connecting people through football.
Overall, it was an incredible day at Panna USA, full of new skills, panna battles, and unforgettable memories. The kids had a blast, and for Nick and Tim, it was a chance to share their passion and inspire the next generation to keep practicing, keep creating, and most of all — keep having fun with the ball.
