Each player has a ball and appropriate space to juggle. Players will work on basic juggling skills. Begin with players using laces of their foot to touch the ball one time and return the ball to their hands. Practice this with both feet. Next, move to two touch then back to hands. Progress this to as many touches in a row that they can get in one minute. Time them and make a game out of it.
Focus on getting the correct touch on the ball for it to travel straight up to return it to their hands. Make sure players are using both of their feet for the single and double touches back to their hands.
