First Touch Juggling Program

The FIRST TOUCH program focuses on:

  • Mastery of all Surfaces

  • 12 levels of goal based progressions.

  • Controlling the height of the ball

  • Controlling the direction of the ball, left to right

  • Counting touches is only used at the end of a level to help mark progress.

Juggling is your FIRST TOUCH.  Every touch you take needs to be placed where, when, and with the exact pace and spin you want.  It is not about how many times you can just keep it alive, it’s about control and developing a feel for the ball and making it do what you want.

 

In 1958 a 17-year-old boy was playing for Brazil in the World Cup Finals.  A cross was played to him on the penalty spot.  With a man hanging on his back and another defender closing quickly, he took the ball out of the air on his chest.  As the ball started to drop towards the ground, the second defender saw his chance and closed the boy.  Before the ball hit the ground, the boy juggled the ball over the defender’s head, ran around him, and volleyed the ball into the back of the net!  That boy was Pele, and an artist was revealed to the world.

Pele only took 2 juggles on that goal, but they were exactly where he wanted them to be.  He controlled the ball and did not let the ball decide what he should do.
