My DD is asking so she can watch to gauge herself and learn what skills she needs and be encouraged.

Take her to a practice at a bigger club.

How many juggles your kid does with both feet? +100? 0?
Start by practicing it, This is basic skill.

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?

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.

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.

Exaggeration. 120 toe taps per minute yes. 120 juggles per minute. No way. Two per second is not possible.

No, when below the knee it’s 2 per second. Watch the video starting about 3:31.

+1. In addition to fees - Depends a lot on travel for league games and “optional” showcases.

[Anonymous]

Especially to the guy with the crack about explaining how long a second is to his wife.

This thread is proof positive that parental crazy peaks at u12-13. Don’t worry folks, for most of you the crazy will devolve into jaded silence in a few years. Let the system work.

Go ahead post a video of your DD doing 120 juggles in a minute tough guy. We all know that won't happen because it's pure fantasy. Just like your dreams of her making the world cup.

The best are parents who brag about how fast their kids juggle and as proof they post a video of a professional soccer player doing it almost that fast.

^darling shocking news for you, better be seated when you read that if you believe that a juggle can’t be done in a second then you have wasted your entire life believing that you know about real football. Did your kids private trainer ever play pro?
