on 1/29/2008 I demonstrate how to do some soccer juggling tricks in my video here. Juggling is a great way to build your ball control.

on 9/10/2006 I have found that keeping the ball low, and moving your foot down when you begin to kick it, has made me much better at juggling. I had about 20 max when it was high and I bounced it off my foot. And about 60 low when I kicked it lightly.

on 9/5/2006 Just remember that whatever way works for you is the right one, and whatever way that does not is wrong for you and is something you can practice on to make your ball controlling skills even better.

on 9/4/2006 Try to find that right place on your thigh that makes the ball just go straight up in the air and back down in the same place you bounced the ball on your thigh. When you find it, try and keep having the ball bounce on that same place so you start to juggle the ball.

on 7/3/2006 The best way to start out is using the inside of your foot, the arch of your foot. It's much flatter and the ricochet off your foot will be clean and go straight up. Once you get the hang of that, then you could branch off to thighs and head.

My rhythm is keeping the ball high, and skipping off my left foot (to regain my balance) while touching with my dominant foot, (right) and then putting my non-dominant foot back down, and my right foot greets the ball!

on 3/19/2006 Juggle the ball with both feet. This makes it much easier than one foot, it's also best that you don't move around while you juggle.

on 12/8/2005 If you spin the ball toward you when you drop it, the ball will keep on coming toward you if you're having the problem of controlling it. In my opinion, this is the real secret of juggling a soccer ball with your feet. I have found that it helps extremely well. All other rules still apply.

on 12/9/2005 A nifty way to regain control (if the ball is behind your shoulder) is the flick kick. This is done by lifting the right leg so that the toes are parallel to the ground, using your hip and thigh for power and striking the ball with the outside of the ankle. The ball will bounce straight up or forward, and with enough power it will go over your head. This is also useful in dribbling, where you can lob unsuspecting defenders.

on 11/22/2005 The key to juggling is practice. I began to practice it when I was sitting around at home and in between drills at practice. By the end of that season I think my record was 76, and two seasons later I can now do it until I get exhausted- around 150 or so.

on 11/22/2005 An easy way to start juggling a soccer ball:
Put your dominant foot on top of the ball, then slide your foot back while rolling the soccer ball on to it, and gently pop it up.

on 11/22/2005 Once you get comfortable with many different juggling methods, you can try using all of them together. This will help you with quickness and eye-body coordination.
