This program is designed to improve the players technique/skill by involving parents to observe their kids doing more of what they love – soccer.

 

Purpose
Juggling is designed to promote, encourage and challenge our players to spend more of
their free time juggling. As we all know, juggling is an integral part of player development.
It is also a known f
act that all good jugglers are not necessarily good soccer players, but
it is certain that all good
soccer players are good jugglers. We want to encourage our young
players to make juggling a
habit because:

  • Players develop better overall ball manipulation skills
  • Players develop coordination, balance, reaction speed, learn to use both feet etc.
  • Players set and achieve goals (personal juggling record) and also develop good work/practice
  • habits and determination to reach those goals.

 

To become a member of the juggle club, you must have your coach witness your attempt at the

end of a practice.

That coach must email the academy with the players name, age group and date of attempt to receive credit for the attempt.

FUN JUGGLING GAMES

 

THE ONE-BOUNCE GAME

that you use both feet.

This is a great activity for those players just learning how to juggle/improve their first touch
Modifications:

  • Alternate feet
  • Take a bounce juggle twice with the same foot, and then bounce, then juggle twice with the
    opposite foot, repeat etc
  • Juggle foot, thigh, then a bounce, then switch feet/legs
  • Juggle foot, head, thigh, foot then a bounce and switch legs/feet

REGULAR JUGGLING IDEAS

  • Alternate right to left foot
  • Around the world - this is a hard one! Start with ball on right thigh, then right foot, to right shoulder,
    to head, to left shoulder, to left thigh, to left foot, back to right thigh and then repeat
  • Juggle feet only, keeping the ball below your knees
  • Juggle feet only keeping the ball below your shins
  • Take one to two touches (start any touch progress to feet only) then knock the ball to head level,
    then receive, take one to touches then hit the ball to head level again
  • Take one to two juggles, knock the ball over your head/find it, then take the ball out of the air(without a bounce),
    and continue the process with one to two touches, then knock the ball over again
