WHY JUGGLE?: Juggling is the art of keeping the soccer ball from hitting the ground by bouncing it off of one's foot,
knee/leg, head, chest, back or shoulders (no hands or arms as in a game). Soccer juggling will strengthen a player's overall
ball control and game. Juggling is a fundamental soccer skill that is a must in establishing good "touch" with the soccer ball.
WHEN TO JUGGLE? The nice thing about juggling is that you can do it on your own. Daily juggling at home is best. Keep
challenging yourself by trying to beat your own score. Juggling is also a great warm-up to do when you get to practice. After
a few minutes you will notice your heart rate rises and your muscles become loose.
HOW TO JUGGLE: At first, try to do 10 touches with each body part: the right foot, the left foot; then both feet
(alternating from one foot to the other); tops of the thighs (alternating from one thigh to the other); and finally with the
head. Increase the numbers as your ability increases.
BENEFITS OF JUGGLING: Gain more confidence on the ball while increasing overall skill. Soccer juggling is the best
exercise to develop touch with the soccer ball. When juggling, learning to control the body is very important. Being able to
make quick, bodily adjustments with all muscles is developed through juggling. Better balance will enable a soccer player to
move to the right, while maintaining balance to shoot the ball to the left, etc. With good juggling skills, players will make
better passes, beat defenders more easily, and be able to hold the ball against defensive pressure, because of better touch
on the ball.
