Juggling in an important part of young soccer players development, no doubt about it. Not all good jugglers are good soccer players, but all good soccer players are good jugglers. Why practice juggling? Because juggling...

• helps young players develop a touch and feel for the soccer ball

• allows young players to set and achieve goals (personal juggling records) and promotes good work habits and determination to reach those goals

• helps young players develop balance, coordination, concentration, and quick reactions

• is an activity that a young player can practice almost anywhere on their own (in their backyard, at a park, while watching a siblings soccer game, etc.)

In an effort to help promote this important individual soccer activity, Maine Metro FC will recognize all players when they reach one of the following levels; Bronze Level (50 juggles), Silver Level (150 juggles), and Gold Level (500 Juggles). Bronze Level members will be honored with name recognition on our website (below).

All juggles must be done in front of your coach or assistant coach, not in front of parents, friends, etc. Coaches will then email me (Brian Cooke) with the player's name and age, and I will add that player to our list of members below. For Bronze level players will receive recognition on our website, for Silver Level players will receive a Maine Metro FC 150 juggles club t-shirt, and Gold Level players will receive a Maine Metro FC 500 juggles sweat-shirt, I will also need a mailing address and T-shirt and sweat shirt size.
