To start, place your feet about shoulder width away to give yourself good support. After that try placing the ball on your forehead. You should place it just where your hair starts (hairline). Raise your eyebrows to make a slight dip on your forehead. After you have mastered this, you will no longer have to raise your eyebrows. When you feel the ball is balanced, take your hand away. Keep trying until you can balance it on your head for about 15 seconds at least.

After that try throwing it up, just above your head. When the ball comes down, go down with it as well to soften up the touch of the ball landing on your forehead. This takes a bit of practice, but it does work.

Once you have mastered that, move on to the next step. Place the ball in a foot-catch position. Throw it up in the air. If you aren't able to get the ball up high enough, try meeting the ball in the air by ducking down slightly. This is harder because you have to straighten out with the ball on your head.

Shoulder Catch - Freestyle Soccer Trick

Start by placing the ball between your neck and shoulder. By lifting your arm up, on the side where the ball is resting on, you will make a small dip in your shoulder. Turn your face in the same direction so that the ball can rest on the side of your face.

Now try throwing the ball just above your shoulder. Before the ball comes down, go down yourself to soften the landing. So when it touches your shoulder, raise your arm (making the dip) and turn your face, for the ball to rest on. You might find it easier to open your legs (a bit more then shoulder width), to give yourself better support.

Now go out and practice. You'll get it down before you know it. If you need any further help, post a comment right below this tutorial or visit our freestyle forum.
