[quote=Anonymous]My kid played in a similar way. Turns out she has ADD and has a difficult time paying attention.  What her brain processes and what reality is seems to be two very different things.

My kid plays great if the coach engages her, but she drifts off if she is on the back of the line or the sideline for example.

I think it is a good sign that your kid thinks she is doing fine... positioning takes time, even 10 year olds in travel sports still struggle with good positioning.

Also, being accepted by her teammates is important and may contribute to her saying, "no one will pass to me."

We have a bully on our team and my DD plays very well until the Bully says some crap to her like, you have to run faster and don't just kick it!  So, it might be a negative teammate interaction.

We spend a lot of time at home doing drills and extra training, which boosts her confidence. I also ask to the coach to have her included more due to the ADD.

And remember, if she is having fun, just tell her you love to watch her play![/quote]
