Juggling is a great way to develop soccer skills. It can be done individually, in pairs or in groups. The exercise of touching the ball a thousand times is a session while trying to control the ball and master tricks and routines translates nicely onto the field.
Juggling is a key training element which is often overlooked. Juggling offers the opportunity to use all parts of the body to gain a feel for the ball. These touches build confidence and makes players aware of parts of their body used to control or pass the ball. It will increase confidence and comfort with the ball while adding imagination in game play. A good juggler does not guarantee the player will be a good game player, as there is no substitute for match play. Juggling should become a daily routine that only takes a few minutes a day. Coaches should encourage players to develop good juggling technique.
Create short term and long term goals to be accomplished in the off season and/or during the course of a season.
Use different size balls and creat competitions.
