Ball Juggling - Outside Foot

Ball juggling is a great way to improve general technique. It helps you to gain confidence on the ball and improves your concentration. Using different parts of both feet will improve your ability to use the ball effectively on the pitch. Start simply and practice hard and you'll be able to impress more and more.

Step 1: Drill 1

Making contact with the ball on the outside of your foot simply throw the ball up to yourself and hit the ball with the outside of your foot back into your hands. Do five with your stronger foot and then and then practice with your weaker foot.

Step 2: Drill 2

Now try and keep the ball in the air using the outside of one foot. See if you can reach ten and then try and do the same with the other foot. Each time try and beat your previous score.

Step 3: Drill 3

Now try and keep the ball up by playing the ball from the outside of each foot in turn. Keep the ball at a nice comfortable height and see how many you can do. Keep a running count and see how it improves with practice.

Step 4: Drill 4

Once you have mastered using the outside of both feet use the technique in combination with the laces and the outside of the boot.
