[quote=Anonymous]OP here. We have 3 kids. They each have similar love of the game, but it is different based on their ages. For example, our oldest will want to attend DC United / Spirit games and will frequently watch soccer highlights on YouTube. Our youngest does not yet do those things, but I attribute it more to age and attention spans (as our oldest was not doing these things until a couple years ago). As for training, they all participate in their respective clubs’ formal training programs, both in- and out-season. Obviously that varies depending on the club and their ages. Informally, if one of them starts juggling/practicing at home, it does not take long before all of them are doing it, but I think that it more typical of younger siblings wanting to do whatever their older sibling is doing. In general, the younger siblings are more technically developed than the older siblings at their respective ages, but I think that is fairly common, given that the younger kids started informally playing with their older siblings and get better by playing against the older kids.
