Juggling (5 mins)

Work on juggling with the feet. Start with various simple patters (foot/catch, bounce/foot/catch, etc.). Then work your way into high foot juggling using the laces and striking surface of the foot. See if they can juggle the ball straight up without much spin. Foot will be about waist height and shoulders will hunch over slightly.

Coaching Points:

  • Strike with instep/laces (create a flat surface with your foot to strike ball)
  • Watch your foot strike the center of the ball (head steady)
  • Try to Achieve 5 Juggles for this age
  • Can do a bounce and then juggle

U4-U6 I would just pretend you are walking a dog and dribble around.
