[quote=Anonymous]Getting your foot stepped on happens (albeit less) even at the highest levels. Kicks to the ankle and above tend to occur with more careless challenges, especially on the less skilled and younger teams. My daughter used to hate playing in mixed groups with lower skilled players who would lunge/kick at the ball instead of tackling or winning the ball properly. Eventually she learned to be more patient against those players when going after 50/50 balls (as they tended to just kick it away from themselves anyways), as well as beating the players quicker when dribbling to avoid all the kicks. I would say encourage her to use her skill, analyze her opponents and learn how to create space.[/quote]
