Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Ladder Juggling

Ladder Juggling (15 mins)

Ladder Juggling

•Have the group get into groups of 3 with 1 ball for the group.

•1 player has the ball while the other 2 are one behind the other and facing the player with the ball

•The ball is tossed to the player facing and has to be sent back to the thrower with the laces. If the player catches the ball without it hitting the ground then they get a point. The player who did the kick follows and takes the ball. The thrower goes behind the non active player and the rotation continues.

•This goes for 1 minute and the group with the most points wins. Have the winning group go to the “top of the ladder” and descend based on their scores with some form of exercise for each rung of the ladder below the winner.

•Do another juggling skill for 1 minute and continue the process. Players can be asked to control with thigh and send back with laces, control with chest back pass back, send it back straight with the head and any combination of those that the coach would like to try.
