What is Juggling?
Juggling is keeping the soccer ball up in the air with different parts of the body, such as feet, thighs, head and even your shoulders without the ball touching the ground. Juggling on it's own will not make you a great soccer player, but it will go a long way to help improve your touch, balance and coordination. It is a great way to help players get comfortable on the ball and also shows first hand what happens if you persevere and keep trying and trying.
