100 CLUB

The 100 club has been established to recognize the soccer players in our club that have managed to exceed expectations and highlight their achievements. The player has to juggle a soccer ball with their feet, head or legs. The player counts how many times they can keep the ball in the air without the ball touching the ground.

In addition to the players name being placed on the website, they will also receive a special "Skillzy's" bag tag.The goal is to get to 100 juggles. The three tiers are;

25 = Bronze

50 = Silver

100 = Gold

A young Iranian footballer has set a Guinness world record for juggling a soccer ball with his feet for 30 hours straight. The bid by Iranian soccer whiz, Mehdi Hob Darvish, to set a world record ended last night at 9 PM in Shahriar's Family Park. Guinness only allows a 5 minute break for every hour of juggling so the gig requires extremely strong and well balanced legs to avoid fatigue. The previous world record of 26 hours belonged to Dan Magness from Milton Keynes in southern England.

All the great soccer players past and present have one thing in common, they are the masters of the soccer ball, the likes of Pele, Maradonna, George Best, Mia Hamm, Johan Cruyff and Ronaldo to name a few have dazzled the world with their ball mastery. These greats spent many hours practicing to become the household names they are today.

Being a master of the soccer ball will improve your coordination; feel of the ball, preparation touch and dribbling ability. Practicing your juggling will help you improve vital areas of your game.
