Is Soccer Juggling worth practicing?

Dear SoccerHelp,

How do I teach juggling?

Coach Bryan

Bryan,

I used to try to teach juggling too, but I decided it isn't worth the time, and it's boring. I suggest using your time on more important things.

Instead of juggling, play these games:

1. "Volleying Pairs" (this is better than juggling)

2. "Corner Kick Simulation"

3. "Kick A Crossed Ball Game"

4. "Run To Ball & Shoot with Side Of Foot"

3 tips:

1. Play the "Dribble Around Cone & Pass Relay Race" -- I've revised it and it's my favorite game.

2. Teach "Coaching Rule No. 3", it's worth 1 or 2 goals per game.

3. Keep playing "Dribble Across A Square" -- you will start to see a big difference in your girls dribbling vs. opponents -- dribbling is the most basic and most important skill.

Thanks for the letter. Please let me know how you like these.
