Balance a Soccer Ball on Your Foot

Maybe you can't juggle a soccer ball, but still want to impress your friends. Here's a quick and easy trick that, though it looks completely easy, is actually quite difficult to master. If you are new to soccer it may take you a while to learn this one properly. However, you should keep practicing and the results will come, I promise.

Steps

  1. Find a flat surface, like a field or driveway.
  2. Place the soccer ball on your preferred foot.
  3. Hold your leg stiff.
  4. Put your foot in such a way that your toe is trying to touch your shin; this will help the ball stay in place.
  5. Move your foot the opposite way the ball is moving. This would balance the ball on your foot correctly.
  6. Hold it against your toe parts, so the ball can't move forward. Your foot and toes are forcing it back, so if you balance it like that, it won't fall off your foot.
  7. Roll it on your foot once you get more practice and feel confident.
