Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 Routines
One of the best things our players can do is build a consistent training routine outside of practice. This isn’t meant to be done every day. Depending on the player’s schedule and other sports, it can be anywhere from 2 to 5 days per week. The goal is to establish some consistency. Let’s start every player at Level 1 for the first week unless they are already doing a routine.
Below are three training levels based on skill. Players can move between them as they grow more confident.
🟢 Level 1: Foundation Routine
For players still learning ball control and building confidence with the ball.
Recommended 2 to 5 times per week
Routine
✅ 100 toe taps (stationary)
✅ 1 skill move of the week — practice both feet
✅ 100 bounce juggles
💡 Tip: Bounce juggles are the first step toward juggling. Focus on rhythm and control, not speed.
🔵 Level 2: Intermediate Routine
For players who have control with toe taps and bounce juggles and are ready for more challenge.
Recommended 2 to 5 times per week
Routine
✅ Moving toe taps — 60 seconds nonstop
✅ 3 skill moves — at least 10 reps per foot each
✅ 250 bounce juggles
🎯 Challenge: Track your bounce juggling high score each session and try to beat i t.
🔴 Level 3: Advanced routine
For players who are confident and consistent with control and bounce juggling and are ready to master juggling and wall work.
Recommended 2 to 5 times per week
Routine
✅ Moving toe taps — 60 seconds at game speed
✅ 3 skill moves — 10 reps per foot
✅ Regular juggling — see how many you do in a row.
✅ Wall training — 10 minutes (if available)
Pass and receive off a concrete wall or backboard using the inside of the foot. Work on one-touch and two-touch passes. Track your clean streaks.
💡 Pro Tip: Juggling is about patience and technique. Count your best streaks and celebrate every improvement.
🧠 Why This Matters
The point of these routines isn’t to wear kids out, it’s to help them build confidence. Even just a few sessions each week will make them feel more comfortable in games.
