Urbana Soccer Association Jugglers List
Starting with the Spring 2005 season, we are adopting a juggling patch program to reward players as they become better and better soccer ball jugglers. The hope is that the patches will help motivate players to juggle on their own at home, before games and practices, etc. so they will get additional ball touches over and beyond those at their scheduled practices and games.
Patches will be awarded at the following levels:
· 10 juggles - USA Juggler center patch and #10 patch
· 25 juggles - #25 patch
· 50 juggles - #50 patch
· 75 juggles - #75 patch
· 100 juggles - #100 patch
To be eligible for a patch, juggles must be done consecutively without the ball touching the ground and MUST be done in front of a coach. Any body part except hands and arms can be used to juggle; feet, thighs, chest, shoulders and head.
The #100 patch completes the circle around the USA Juggler center patch and is the culmination of the patch program (see picture above).
Patches are sized so that they can be sewn onto the lower right leg of a player's game shorts. Of course, the player can sew them on their bag, jacket - anything that makes them proud of their great juggling ability.
