One of our fans wanted to know how he could improve juggling with his less dominant foot. If you too are struggling with this, we hope this post helps. Please let us know how it goes or if you have any other questions.

Juggling consists of two things: ball control and balance. Using both feet actually helps maintain your balance as it is more natural for the body to stay balanced when both feet are used. For example, it is easier to stay balanced when you walk then when you skip on just one foot.

For the ball control aspect, you just have to condition yourself to get used to using your less dominant foot and doing so as often as possible. Repetition is key for every drill. For this post we will assume your left foot is less dominant. If you are a natural lefty, just switch it up 🙂

Here is an example of a progression you can do to get used to controlling the ball with your left foot. Each of these progressions starts by dropping the ball from about chest-high and juggling with your left foot first.

– Drop the ball from chest-high, let it bounce once off of the ground, and then kick it back to your hands using your left foot. The progression is hands, bounce, left foot, hands. Perform this until you have done it under control about 10 times in a row.

– Then, drop the ball from chest-high and kick it back to your hands using your left foot, so you are eliminating the bounce. The progression is hands, left foot, hands. Perform this until you have done it under control about 10 times in a row.

– After doing so 10 times under control, drop the ball from chest-high to your left foot, kick it in the air, let it bounce off of the ground, and then kick it again with your left foot back to your hands. So the progression is hands, left foot, bounce, left foot, hands. Perform this until you have done it under control about 10 times in a row.

– After doing so 10 times under control, drop the ball from chest-high to your left foot, kick it in the air with the left foot, kick it in the air again without letting it bounce with your right foot, and kick it again in the air with your left food and into your hands. The progression is hands, left foot, right foot, left foot, hands. Perform this until you have done it under control about 10 times in a row.

– Keep increasing the number of times you are juggling in “left-right-left” progressions and before you know it you will be juggling with both feet.
