[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She will never be able to catch up even if she was natural gifted. What happens at u12(and younger) is the girls are put in to a field position that best suits their abilities. 
If you are not good with the ball the coach will not want you having the ball a lot. The players becomes a roll players usually tied to a physical trait- physicality or speed. They will usually be placed in a forward or defensive roll. 
The skilled players will receive the ball more and develop with the exception that they get the ball in games. The non skilled players will told to play their roll and get the ball to the skill players.

Most of girls/women soccer is about physical play and speed. Have her workout and put on muscle. [/quote]

Note to self.  Watch the Alex Morgan story on Youtube again.  Alex may not be very technical but she does OK with soccer, starting club, where all the big clubs turned her down.

I like the suggestion above about Coerver.  My daughter also used soccer videos on Youtube from a channel called Progressive Soccer.  Multiple coaches/trainers told me and my daughter to simply go to a wall for 30 minutes a day.  For the people above who said practice juggling, I agree.  My daughter got better on the ball, the more she's able to juggle.[/quote]
