Juggling is a great way to develop skills needed in the game of soccer. Developing the ability to strike the ball properly and consistently , enough to keep a soccer ball alive and in the air can help players hone eye/foot coordination - passing and traping, and develop confidence on the ball that is needed to find success.
It's not as simple as just learning how to juggle. Normal training is required for fitness, decision making and to sharpen all the movements, agility and mechanics involved in the game of soccer. But time spent with the ball juggling can be extremely beneficial as a compliment to all the fine skills needed to play at a high level.
Using a smaller ball like the Brasilian Futebol or even a tennis ball can accelerate progress and sharpen eye-foot coordination as well as develop balance, quick feet and touch on the ball. After becoming accomplished as a juggler with a small ball you will find it much easier to control and manipulate a normal ball.
