[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 9 year old girl can juggle alternating right/left (feet/but has to resort to thighs occasionally) up to about 15 and kicks/dribbles equally well with left and right feet.  From what I can tell in our ODSL league (I know, I  know!) these skills are pretty rare in her age group.   [/quote]

I saw a u10 girl juggling around 210, 6” off her foot.....it’s hard to count, could be more but what does it matter. She was the exception- really good control, can walk and turn around while juggling, can do ball on a string through top girls on really fast surfaces(indoor hardwood courts), very technical, etc. She is right dominate but you have to watch her for a while to figure it out. There is no hesitation with the left foot. Saw her score two goals with her left foot because it was the proper foot to use. She did not think about it or look uncomfortable, she just did it. Same with passing.

At a big club u10, the better girls will be in the 30’s, a small group will be in the 50’s, one or two will be above that. The girls start to compete and push each other. Sound like your girl is on the right track. When she gets above 50’s, there are some good drills you can do to increase touch.[/quote]
