From May 25th to Tuesday June 2nd We will be having a juggling challenge.  Get a soccer ball and juggle with your feet for 1 minute.  The goal is to get as many touches as you can in a minute. Don't worry if the ball hits the ground.  Just pick it back up with your feet or hands and continue juggling.  

Here is a video that explains the challenge more and some tips for success.
