Are there videos (YouTube) of really good 2008G players in our area? Someone with incredible skills, etc.
My DD is asking so she can watch to gauge herself and learn what skills she needs and be encouraged. |
Yeah. You should see how far some of the kids come for true DA |
The team of the future (PWSI 08 RL) had a youtube video at one point but I dont know if its still up. They went to the finals in Jeff Cup last year in the 6th bracket and parents got on here pounding there chest that the girls are future US National team material |

Take her to a practice at a bigger club. |
Rose Lavelle at 11 https://youtu.be/eRVMoHEvseA How many juggles your kid does with both feet? +100? 0? Start by practicing it, This is basic skill. |
Is this really her? I now think there is hope for my DD |
At 11 the top technical girls can juggle into the 1000’s. The drop off is steep after that though. The reason you attend a practice at a big clubs is to get a feel for the the technical skills(unusual not overwhelming), athleticism, aggression and physicality of the other players. Sometimes the speed of play is faster but the amount of time you get with the ball with no pressure is a lot less. |
Hmm...not sure about that. It did not look Rose could make 1000s. She probably focused on other skills besides juggling to get where she is now. |
My older son was doing over 1,000 at 11. My younger son (great player)never focused on juggling. Now at U15, U13, my older son's touch is crazy good. After getting so many juggles he got into catching it on his neck, around the world, etc. At U14, he has shot up in profile after sort of being ignored for some years. He now gets stopped by opposing coaches to comment on his good play after games. I see my U13, dropping off after being one of the top players. He doesn't work on soccer like his older brother because he really has started to love basketball and his first instinct is to go out front and shoot hoops. Older brother biked up in the rain to play at the high school field on his day off today. |
If a player focus so much time practicing juggles, how do they have time to practice other foot skills? While I agree that 1000 juggles is very impressive, how much is too much? Meaning: is 50-100 juggles adequate? |
I wonder this too. My 10 year old DD's juggling record is 150ish. Great! But she gets bored and doesn't want to aim higher. I mean - its counterproductive to push her to hit 1000, right?? |
Juggling is part of the skill base. At the younger ages it develops touch and balance. Once you get over 100 you just do it for a set amount of time( 5-10 minutes 3 days a week) as part of your skill work. Juggling is not a huge time commitment. 1000 juggles is about 9 minutes- 120 minute. My DD does this. It includes juggles as part of the base skill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgsymJy0RJk When she was u10 she did this. The coaches would time them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5ClnKlYZw0&t=15s&app=desktop Both were given out as “homework” by the coaches. |
