[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is 8 and plays for a local club. He can reliably get 5 or 6 juggles, but not much more than that. His coaches seem to put an emphasis on juggling as a measure of improvement, but I don't have a good sense as to what a realistic goal is for a kid in the 8-9 year old range. [/quote] On a top U9 team, the coach said the kids needed to be able to do 100 Now on U10, the coach says 175. I'd guess about 50% of kids have made the goals. Juggling isn't just about gaining skill...it shows the coach who's willing to put in the work when they're not at practice, since getting good at juggling has little to do with skill level, and is all about repetition and hard work. [/quote] It's too bad your kid is on a top team and doesn't have a good coach -- or at least one who doesn't communicate well. Juggling is incredibly important to developing touch and receiving skills...and quality over quantity. [/quote]
