Soccer Trick: The Boot Bounce

Create a bouncing surface for the ball with the edge of your foot. You MUST be able to judge where the ball will bounce.

As you’ll see in the video – this soccer trick requires excellent judgement of where the ball is going to land. There is a very small margin or error because the edge of your boot is fairly thin.

Also, it’s very important that you are able to lower your leg enough so that the edge of your foot is pointing straight up. Otherwise, the ball is going to bounce off at a big angle – making it very difficult to continue juggling.

Lastly, make sure you give the ball a solid hit before the trick. In the video you’ll notice that I hit the ball higher than normal right before the trick. I do this because it makes the ball bounce off higher (which makes it easier to keep juggling).

Big thanks to my friend Gazim for teaching me this one.
