German term or phrase: jonglieren
As in football. Ball jonglieren. Is there a special word for it in English? I don't think it is called juggling, this balancing of the ball on the tip of the boot and kicking it lightly up and down. The word trick is also in the same sentence so need another word for it.

juggling
Explanation:
'In soccer, juggling can be done using the top of the foot, the sides of the foot, the thigh, or the head. There are also a number of tricks that involve throwing the ball up and catching it. The ball can be caught using the top of the foot, the thigh and stomach, and even the back of the neck'
