    Its not that difficult if you are decent at juggling in soccer. it is similar but you just need to learn how the ball reacts when you strike it certain ways. i will tell you it does hurt your feet and ankles everytime you strike the ball. the ball is made of hard plastic and you will be very sore first time trying this sport. dont let it discourage you though after awhile your nerves become used to it and you wont feel the pain as much anymore.

    @dudol75 it’s hard with the flips and shit, but the game itself it just takes trust of yourself, balance and coordination. then you just work on flexibility and technique from there.
