FOR REAL PLAYERS & COACHES |
 |
Juggling can improve your game in many different areas. Your touch on the ball is vital to the game, and if you can juggle the ball consistently you are more likely to be consistent when receiving the ball in games. It's a great way for you to learn how the ball reacts to different touches and surfaces. It also can improve your confidence on the ball. The most important and effective way to achieving your juggling goals is to PRACTICE ON YOUR OWN. Beating your score and challenging yourself are key to improving your game. Juggling a soccer ball with feet, thighs or head is an excellent activity for both beginners and advanced players alike. It's a great warm-up activity and after a few minutes, the heart rate rises and the muscles become warm and loose.
See our Players Page for more about juggling techniques.
