[quote=Anonymous]Tips for your daughter? Keep doing the same things at 11v11 she did at 9v9. The fundamentals don't change on the larger field. Keep connecting 5, 10, 15 yard passes on the ground. Play out of pressure. Keep possession. Work on touch so she can receive the ball from anywhere and control it. No child transitioning to 11v11 can properly use all of the field because no one can strike a 40-yard ball consistently and accurately. Just keep doing the basics, correctly. The kids will take some time to grow into the size of the field. They'll be a little more tired from more running. A through ball to an open forward is no longer a 20-yard breakaway, it is a 50-yard run. And there is no longer a small space into which a through ball can be played, but rather an entire half of the field. If anything, your daughter should work on another fundamental skill of striking long balls, but learn how to use them judiciously. Don't worry, it all comes in time.[/quote]
