Soccer Training - How to Juggle a Soccer Ball with your Feet

[ZainJ100]

Thanks, the part where you said NOT to curl feet helped, because I'm not too bad at juggling but sometimes occasionally the ball goes sideways or towards me. I have a question, do you want my foot to be on a 90 from my ankle??

[1986xuan]

@OnlineSoccerAcademy How long did you take to learn how to juggle a ball?

[SuperAvatar1998]

Hey dude !! IT help Me a LOT !!! thnks...

[samEsorensen]

do you have to be using a soccer ball for this! i think i have 1 but its popped. would it work with a basketball.....

[starlover222]

@samEsorensen it might be bad for the basketball and you might start to get used to the feel of the basketball rather than an actual soccer ball, but if it’s round, you can juggle.

[timcahill97]

[MdAhmeduddin]

[cheyoguanaco619]

I Could Only Do 50, With Good Ball Control. After Watching This Vid. I Can Now Do 250 ! Its Easy & Fun Now ! Thanks ALOT Dude !!!!! :D

[Supra2Neff]

Dude u helped me soooo much

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@Supra2Neff awesome! Glad I could help!

[hrithish]

hey man im new so i can do only 49 juggles but i have a friend that do 206 juggles and he is just in seventh grade so can you just make a vid that can help me out thanks a lot

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@hrithish 49 juggles is pretty good for just starting! This video will help you out. Everything I am teaching here is the same technique I would teach you if you are a beginner or someone who can do 206 juggles. I have more on my channel too.

[Heronis8162]

Where is my little dap?! D:

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@Heronis8162 LOL, sorry! This was one of my earlier vids and I was still testing the "little dap" at that point. Little dap to you!

[Rebelswag17]

I have been playing soccer all my life and I am on SAC premier U15 this video really helped me make the team that's slot

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@Rebelswag17 glad this video helped you! Congrats on making the team!

[nmw1304]

I do juggle a lot but the constant problem I have is that the ball is having to much backspin it gets really hard to control when the ball is in that stage. and the ball frequently hits my toe. any tips?

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@nmw1304 keep practicing and you will get better. All the tips I have for you are in this video. Try practice the motion of juggling with your knee down without the ball, then use the ball. Don't curl your foot back to you far!

[limhkkelvin]

Thankyou! 

[salvadorianchic13]

I love playing soccer and now I can juggle a ball 20 times every 2-3 minutes! No lie I'm serious thats how serious I am about soccer :D

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@salvadorianchic13 Awesome! Good job! Keep practicing!

[TheDHeroMan]

Gareth Bale dislikes this video :)

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@TheDHeroMan LOL! That's funny! But if I am Gareth Bale why would I dislike my own video?? LOL! Just kiddin!

[TheDHeroMan]

@OnlineSoccerAcademy That's the other Gareth Bale -_-

[kira9311]

Ha, thanks everytime I would kick it it would go like 30 feet up in the air haha

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@kira9311 hopefully you fixed that now! It'd be hard to juggle like that for very long! 

[kira9311]

@OnlineSoccerAcademy yeah im practicing, all i could say is that i reduced it by making it go at least 15 feet lol. but ill get better in time thanks to your helpful video!

[Taisonsvlog90210]

i try to kick it low but it flies in the air i do every thing he does but its not working plz help

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@Taisonsvlog90210 it takes a lot of practice so keep trying and get use to taking lighter touches and you will improve. It doesn't take much for the ball to pop off your foot if your technique is great. Good luck!

[FXnoobsProductions]

Gareth Bale ? :D

[martinez9037]

Thank you I went from 5 to 10 juggles in 2:00 minutes this bus helped a lot I might sign up for that soccer academy:):):)

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@martinez9037 that's great! Keep it up! Yes, sign up for the Online Soccer Academy if you'd like. It's free! You will love it!

[Hitman19981]

When i juggle my whole leg just goes up... i hardly use my knee can you help me?

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@Hitman19981 practice without the ball doing the technique correct like I do in the video. Then when you are able to not bring your whole leg up, try it with the ball.

[Hitman19981]

@OnlineSoccerAcademy thnx really helped :)

[rlawodus1]

hi! its first time to see your video well.. i really love your videos and your actions!! :)) i wanna learn from you but i cant go there!! becuz im korean..T.T and please make more video that helps people and i will watch when ever you made a new video and if you have facebook please add me!! >>qoqofhdi@daum.net<< this is my id in facebook! tnx! :))

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@rlawodus1 glad you love the videos! New ones come out on Mondays and Wednesdays so subscribe so you can watch them twice weekly! Best thing to do is add me on Facebook, I'm Facebook dot com /JaredMontz

[bIGgIRLCOrn]

Sir i tried to do juggle like you, but one of thing that, do i have to move my ankle or only knee? If i only move knee than do i have to make my ankle like straight?

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@bIGgIRLCOrn i think the best way to answer your question is to tell you to watch the video again. It will visually show you what to do as well as tell you. Let me know if you still have questions.

[ameerul1998]

i always touch using toes . Why ? Can you explain ?

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@ameerul1998 Hard for me to know why without seeing you.  Keep watching the video and study it and the what could go wrong section. My thought is your foot is to curled back towards your shin and you are taking to big of a swing when you try to juggle. Really focus on it hitting your laces near the base of your toes, not your toes. Practice will solve this.

[ameerul1998]

@OnlineSoccerAcademy Thanks for your advice . I'll try :)

[zarmy57]

How low must the ball be till you can kick it up? at knee level or further below?

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@zarmy57 usually it's below your knee when you take your juggle touch.

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@zarmy57 a few inches below the knee in my opinion.

[Sai9Ashwin]

ur awesome!!!

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@Sai9Ashwin thanks! You are too!

[thugatic537]

Thanks man. I'm starting to get the hang of it.

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@thugatic537 great! Keep practicing and it will become more natural and easier. Keep working hard!

[FPSMuslims]

Hey j man i hve 437 juggles but i was like flying around. I need help hitting my laces when i hit my laces it goes left and right. Is there anyway to improve myself to always hit my laces? Thx if u reply

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@FPSMuslims I think practice and more practice will solve your problem. Try to do one at a time correct and with great technique instead of rushing it to get a high score. Over time your technique will be more natural and you will be getting high scores more comfortably. Having said that 437 is a great record to start with! Let me know how it goes and when you get a 1,000!

[supersucknav]

Nice merci

[blackchidori97]

i watched it a week ago and I kinda got the hang of it! C'mon people don't give up!

[slashmojoslash]

How to know if it sounds right? I think it's hitting my toe part but I can juggle many times with that. The sound is like a ruler being tapped. Is that a correct juggle? or am I doing it right?

[slashmojoslash]

Yo, I've been practicing for 2 days now. I get until 4 when I'm lucky I get up to 5. Thanks for the video. But sometimes when I juggle It goes to my stomach if not it flies away. Like. Left then right left right then on the fifth juggle it flows away. Should I be relaxed? Or Should I make my foot hard?. Also I practice on our house so is it ok to practice on a conrete floor?

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@slashmojoslash Keep up the good work practicing! Practice and patience will slove a lot of your issues. Every one starts juggling with low scores. Watch the video again and really study the part about how to position your foot. Sounds like sometimes your foot is to curled back, which is why it hits your stomach and other times it sounds like your foot isn't curled enough which is why it flies away. Lock your ankle, your foot should be a bit hard.

[FriendOfAll007]

@OnlineSoccerAcademy I bought a new football yesterday.am practicing with it.very nice.But i want to know that how much time will a soccerball be tightened with air? My football losses air within 2-3 hours(only little).Is it okay?help me please

[flameatk]

@FriendOfAll007 It depends on what kind of bladder the ball has. I'm not entirely sure but a latex bladder(mostly on official match balls) retains it's shape much better than a butyl bladder(regular footballs). However a butyl bladder holds air longer than a latex one.

[FriendOfAll007]

@flameatk Thank you very much pal.But surely now my football is tight for atleast 2 days. thanks for your help.

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@slashmojoslash relax when juggling too. It's supposed to be fun. One really good juggle times 100 is 100 juggles. Do it right once, then twice, then three times and with practice you will be at 100 in no time. Yes, it's okay to practice on concrete. Just wear tennis shoes. I love juggling with tennis shoes on a gym or concrete floor. Having said that make sure you can do it in cleats on grass too.

[hirosanza]

This s so nice thx ya !

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@hirosanza you are welcome!

[SachinSKT]

hey man the problem is sometimes it hits the laces & sometimes it hits the toe & sometimes it hits the upper portion.Any Help?

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@SachinSKT sounds like you get it right sometimes and not others. That's called being inconsistent. With practice comes consistency. Keep practicing, you will improve slowly but surely! Believe in it®!

[smbarber4]

I still cant juggle well! Any help?

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@smbarber4 practice always helps. Watch and study the "what could go wrong" section. See if you are messing up consistently and having issues I am talking about. Then figure out how to fix them from the video.

If you reply more specific, like the ball keeps hitting my shins or something. then I can better help you.

[dudedominator]

Good vids! But ik keep curling my feet to much so it spins alot. Anymore tips or just practise? Keep it up! And i subscribed.

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@dudedominator don't curl your foot quite as much and make sure you hit it off your laces, not your toe area on your foot. It will sound different when you get it on your laces. If your foot is curled to far back the ball will constantly keep hitting you in the shins or your body. Continue practice will help with your problem! Let me know how it goes??

[luobronjames]

is putting spin on the ball the wrong way to juggle? Because i can get 200+ juggles but i think im doing it wrong because im having trouble doing other freestyle moves like around the world etc.

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@luobronjames putting spin on the ball is not the wrong way to juggle. Does having spin on the ball make it harder to do around the world? Yes. Try learning my "advanced" feet juggling and then doing the Around the World from that style of juggling. That will make it easier. Good luck!

[riwazable]

@luobronjames ..around the world is an advance move...ull have keep ur speed very high..i learned it easily bcoz i learned karate which teaches us in out and out to in kicks.....tip:jog 1 km every day to bcom very fast...believe me it works

[emproar02]

no dap? :(

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@emproar02 sorry, this was one of my earlier videos and I wasn't doing daps then. Gonna have to re do this one at some point! Little Dap to you!

[emproar02]

@OnlineSoccerAcademy lol, i was kidding around. On a more serious note, this is an excellent channel, can't understand why you don't get more views?? But keep the good work! I play recreationally, but it's always good to learn more. Would you mind putting a vid about trapping/controlling difficult passes e.g. those that come in shin/knee high or long aerial passes? Much appreciated

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@emproar02 thanks for kind words about my channel. I appreciate it. Views and subscribers are rolling in daily as we continue to produce great videos. We will continue to grow, people love what we do and we love making videos and helping everyone! I have a video on receiving a pass and I have one coming out soon about trapping a ball out of the air. Be on the look out!

[98Destructo]

can u do these tricks with normal shoes

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@98Destructo Yes, in tennis shoes or athletic shoes I am sure you can do them in. Dress shoes... I wouldn't recommend! LOL

[Iamsoccer01]

i hate you its you suck at teaching

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@Iamsoccer01 sorry you feel that way. What can I be doing better to provide a better teaching/learning experience for you?

[gryffindorhouse122]

@Iamsoccer01 How the hell is he sucking at teaching? Maybe its just your dumb? I understood it just fine, really easy in fact.

[Tike9779]

@Iamsoccer01 suck yourself....

[Akshaj007]

@Iamsoccer01 you're an idiot!

telling him a bad teacher only an idiot can do.I think everyone's with me,aren't they?

[HoboDubs]

Thanks man! I love your enthusiasm!

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@HoboDubs Thanks, I try my best! Guess those talented theater classes in Jr. High are paying off for me now!

[duxcris]

nice



[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@duxcris thanks!

[MrZoombies]

where did u get your soccer net

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@MrZoombies I got it at Academy Sporting goods. It's made by a company called Brava.

[wowhours]

thanks so much, i always got too much spin on the ball. now i know what i was doing wrong

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@wowhours glad you know what you are doing now, good luck!

[Shumyle72]

Juggling Problems solved! I knew i was doin something wrong but i couldnt point out what, but after watching, i know what i need to do to get better. Thanks!

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@Shumyle72 Good job, credit to you for making the adjustment!!

[theBmhawkins]

Thanks for making this video i haven't done it yet but i cant wait! I've always had trouble with juggling and i dont know why i can kick the ball fine I i can dribble the ball really well but juggling just is not my thing

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@theBmhawkins you are welcome. Juggling is probably one of the most frustrating things in soccer to learn. Just be patient and practice a lot and it will start to click for you. Believe in yourself and you will get it! Let me know how it goes!

[lucuador1992]

i love how you explain the error in the mistakes we make when trying to juggle the ball. that was REALLY REALLY helpful! 

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@lucuador1992 Glad the what could go wrong section was helpful for you. I do my best to coach you as much as possible through the videos and the what could go wrong section is just one way for me to do that. Good luck with your juggling!

[leotabel]

how many days will it takes to master it?...plss reply..tnx

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@leotabel it depends how fast you learn and how hard you try. I would say if you are working hard you could do 5 feet juggles just starting out in your first or second training sessions. To do 100 feet juggles would take a lot longer. Key is you practice! Good luck!

[BrownNecks]

Just wondering, does it depend on the shoes you wear while juggling or is it all just technique?

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@BrownNecks cleats or tennis shoes are the best. Obviously cowboy boots or dress shoes are not great. Just clarifying. Technique is the most important part though. How is your juggling?

[deleonjuan01]

It's a really helpful video but when I juggle it, it always go far away from me. I try to even my foot out but I still can only do 10 or less. Am I doing something wrong???? Any suggestions??

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@deleonjuan01 I am not sure what you are doing exactly because I can't see you. Try bending your foot back towards you some. That will help give the ball a little spin and keep it coming back towards you, not away from you. Curl it back to far and it will hit you in the shins and waist but just enough and you should be good to go. Good luck!

[TheRajat23]

do u think creating backspin while juggling is ok n hw can i avoid it... coz in freestyling backspin is not usefull...... n can u elaborate which part of the foot shud v hit..... n one more ques. d ball comes n rolls on to ma shin or knee due do d bacspin any remedy 4 dat 1.... n nice tutorial ur head juggling was very helpfull i'm workin on dat 1 thnx n keep more of dem comin...... ole..

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@TheRajat23 yes, creating backspin while juggling is okay. When doing tricks it sometimes helps not to have back spin. To learn how to juggle with out back spin watch my "Soccer Tips - How to juggle with your feet advanced". Glad you are liking our videos! THanks!

[xkrnsniperx]

When I try to juggle it feels like the back of my knee is being stretched out too much.

This happens when I let my knee dictate the power of the movement.

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@xkrnsniperx try not to have a straight leg when you make contact with the ball. So you shouldn't feel the back of your knee stretch. There should be a slight bend in your knee when you make contact. Did this video help?

[xkrnsniperx]

@OnlineSoccerAcademy Of course! All your videos helped!

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@xkrnsniperx Awesome! Great to hear that!

[godfather188]

i have practiced for 2 weeks, 2 hrs a day. i can't practice over 2 hrs a day because i keep hitting the front ankles, which become swollen really bad. is it part of the typical practice pain n gain?

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@godfather188 that doesn't sound like typical practice pain. Practicing hard is good but take a day off occasionally to let your body and mind rest. If your ankles are real bad when you are juggling and they hurt then see a doctor. Hope you heal up good!

[godfather188]

what should i do with toes? should they be upward or flat?

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@godfather188 toes are a little flat. If they are pointed upward to much then the ball typically comes back and hits you in the shins or waist. What the "what could go wrong" section of this video & that will visually show you what I am talking about. Hope that helps!

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@ThisIsSmella Yes, I think it is harder to juggle barefoot.

Can you were shoes? That will help cushion the ball from hitting your foot bone which is hard which is causing the ball to fly high. If you don't have shoes then take a lighter touch.

For this type of juggling you want to hit in on the front part of your laces. The video explains it good. Hope this helps!

[yash5832]

thanks for the advice and when i juggle the ball comes too near my legs and that causes ball to drop down.

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@yash5832 try not pointing your feet back to you that much. If your foot is curled back to hard that will cause the ball to hit you in the legs.

[yash5832]

i just try but i cant juggle the ball just go all over the place

[OnlineSoccerAcademy]

@yash5832 keep practicing. it will get easier the more you practice. Watch the part of the video about you could be doing wrong. You might be trying to kick the ball to early. let it drop lower for you. Also don't flick your foot. Your foot shouldn't be moving much doing this type of juggling. It is your knee down that is doing the movement to generate power. Let me know how it goes??
