HOW TO JUGGLE WITH YOUR FEET:
Lift off!
Step 1 – Starting with your foot on top of the ball, roll the ball toward yourself using your sole and toes.
Step 2 – With your toes, then flick the ball into the air using a scooping action…
Step 3 – …and catch the ball with the top of your dominant foot! Use your leg for extra support, creating a cup / crevice for the ball to rest.
*** NB: If you find this move difficult to master, you can drop the ball so that it bounces instead…
Step 4 – Flick the ball with the lower front part of your foot into the the air (not too high – or it becomes hard to manage!)
Step 5 – Keep the ball going by kicking the ball up your feet repeatedly!
Once you have the hang of it, try alternating your feet…
Keep Practicing!
