Join the New BHU Juggle Club!
What is juggling? Juggling is the art of keeping a soccer ball up in the air with your feet, thighs, chest and head. It is a simple, but powerful way of improving your soccer skills. No hands, no bounces on the ground and you must use both feet. Juggling can be done anywhere and on any surface…the driveway, your yard, at a playground or warming up for your soccer game!
Benefits of juggling: Gain more confidence on the ball while increasing overall skill. Soccer juggling is the best exercise to develop touch with the soccer ball. When juggling, learning to control the body is very important. Being able to make quick, bodily adjustments with all muscles is developed through juggling. Better balance will enable a soccer player to move to the right, while maintaining balance to shoot the ball to the left, etc. With good juggling skills, players will make better passes, beat defenders more easily and be able to hold the ball against defensive pressure, because of better touch on the ball.
