Juggling
is a key training element which is often overlooked. Juggling allows
the players to use all parts of their body to gain a feel for the ball.
These touches build confidence and makes players aware of parts of
their body used to control or pass the ball. With a larger range of
comfort with the ball, imagination is often sparked in game play. A
good juggler does not guarantee the player will be a good game player,
as there is no substitute for match play. Juggling should become a
daily routine that only takes a few minutes a day. Coaches should
encourage players to develop good juggling technique. When juggling,
coaches should stress the following points:
1) Use all parts of the body
(head, chest, thighs, and feet) and alternate feet. Don't get caught
only juggling with your dominant foot!
2) Focus on good controlled
touch to realize the full potential of juggling. If a player does not
have good body control this will lead to bad touches.
3) Be able to control the ball
in different situations. So if a player has a bad touch, they should
try to recover it rather than starting over.
4) Be able to maintain good
body position.
5) Find rhythm and harmony
between the player and the ball.
6) Practice while standing
still, then progress to walking slowly and then with some pressure by
either time or opponents.
7) Practice juggling about 20
minutes each day.
