Around Plant Leg Bounce Soccer Trick

This juggling trick is a great way to challenge your skills and show off in front of your friends. You probably will not do this trick in a game but pull it off in front of your bros or broettes and you will look legit! 

Key Points:

1. Make sure you can feet juggle at least 25 times with close control. Watch our Online Soccer Academy foot juggling video for help if needed. 

2. Juggle your ball up waist height on the left side of your body so it will come down along side your plant leg.

3. Bring your dominant foot around the back of your plant leg and position the inside of your foot facing up towards the sky. The outside of your foot should be pushed in the ground. 

4. The ball should hit the part of your foot where your big toe starts. This is because its the hardest spot on the inside of your foot. Keep your foot hard by locking your ankle and forcing your foot into the ground. You want the ball to hit your foot and bounce up. Think of your foot hard like a rock, not loose like jello. 

5. Keep your plant foot firm in the ground. Don't move it until the ball hits it. Then you can move it and start juggling. 

Exercise Player Can Do: 

Start off practicing the technique of this trick without the ball to get your body use to how you will move. 

Once confident and comfortable toss the ball in the air, let it bounce, then do the trick off the bounce. 

When you are ready to move on practice the trick from juggling. 

What Player Could Be Doing Wrong: 

If the ball is bouncing all over the place and not straight up then you are hitting the wrong part of your foot. Make sure the ball hits the hardest part of your foot, which is at the base of your big toe. 

If the ball isn't getting enough bounce then you need to juggle the ball higher so it has more power coming down when it hits your foot. Also make sure to keep your foot firm in the ground. Don't move it early and cause your foot to be loose like jello. 

Bonus Tip!

Make sure to do this in short grass or in tennis shoes on concrete to help get a better bounce. If you do this in high thick grass it makes the degree of difficulty much higher and will decrease your chance of pulling it off.
