Do you know any tips on to juggle a soccer ball? |
As you people could see im a huge fan of soccer and i know many tricks but keeping the ball in the air..is hard for me. so know any tips? websites videos? Often, when just starting out, it can appear to be impossible to keep the ball up in the air. As you've heard numerous times before, you need to practice and practice and practice. Soon enough things will start to click and you can build from one, to two, to ten, and on up to fifty touches and beyond, with the ball in the air. At first try kicking the ball into your hands. Dropping the ball down to your feet and kicking the ball back up to your hands. Then two juggles and back up to the hands and then three and four. Next try alternating from your right foot to your left. As you go along it will become easier and you can gain control of the ball and make the ball do what you want it to do. Again, work on alternating from right to left - maybe twice with the right and then once with the left or four with the left and then two with the right. The main goal should be to be able to juggle back and forth from your right foot to your left. You can then kick the ball higher into the air while your juggling and then lower and then higher. Have fun with the ball, getting used to using all the different surfaces of your feet and parts of your body to control the ball, incorporating more parts as you improve - foot to head to thigh back to foot to head again. Make the Ball Do What You Want It To Do You can go in a cycle. Left and then right foot, then right thigh and then left thigh, and then hitting the ball up to your head and back down to your right foot and then left and so on. You can make up various cycles that you have to go through, choosing where the ball goes, and not just keeping the ball up in the air, but manipulating the ball on your terms. It鈥檚 not about how many times you can juggle but making the ball go where you want it to 鈥?being in control. Later you can try to manipulate the ball even more. Kicking the ball away from you to the right and then away from you to the left, at a slight angle in the air. Almost like your faking going to the right and then the left but in the air. You need to lean your body to the side in which you are kicking the ball. Kick the ball out to the right then back towards the inside with the right foot - and then try this with your left foot. All the while keeping the ball up in the higher. Next try walking and juggling with the ball. See if you can juggle the ball to the other side of the field. Later try jogging and juggling the ball in the air at the same time. You will just need to find the right rhythm, alternating the ball with each step as you jog along. Slowly try to pick up speed as you improve. Key Points Juggling helps you get a good feel for the ball and improve your ability to strike the ball on the volley. And, it will not only help you with hitting the ball on the volley, juggling will help you with striking the ball with the other surfaces of your foot if you are juggling, and getting creative, and using all parts of your feet. You will find yourself using more of the surfaces of your foot in games - that you normally don't use. Say a long ball is played to you, but a bit behind you, so you use the outside of your foot to control the ball or strike the ball directly with the outside of your foot to a team mate or on goal. start out by just bouncing the ball once on your knee (or "juggling") and then catching it. hopefully that should be easy. once you've mastered that try bouncing it on your knee twice, then catching it. do 3 times once you got 2 down. keep going. that is what worked for me. The last guy was right it is all about the knees. start bouncing it back an forth from one knee to the other. Once you have mastered that let it go down to one foot and back up to your knees again. I would start by bouncing it back and forth on my knees maybe ten times to every one time to your foot, and then slowly as you get better keep it on your feet more often. Remember when it is on your feet you can always go back to your knees when you get in trouble. Hope that helps, it worked for me. I use to stink at juggling the ball too. I was on a primer team so the team practiced it every day. 1st the main thing to do is just practice all the time you can. 2nd try juggling a balloon that is not full of helium this gets down the basic things to do. 3rd try it with a soccer ball this will be faster than the balloon but you will have to practice. 4th if this still does not work sit down a your couch or something and go back and fourth on your thighs towards your knees this is where most juggling should be done. 5th do it with a friend and play games while juggling. 6th it takes time to learn how to juggle so don't give up and don't get frustrated with yourself I hope this helps you become a better juggler. practice!!! |
