[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the poster that MOST of the better more intense players and families move to travel at this age, so your kid should be fine. I have no idea how "athletic" she is or how she fits in with the abilities of the other players/friends. If she wants to make sure she fits in, have her do some "footskills" a few times a week on her own (15-20 minutes per should work). You can find plenty on youtube and this is also a perfect opportunity for you to bond with her. Some ideas: Find a park/yard/before practice and pass the ball back and forth with her. You can play goalie and have her shoot on you. If she is just starting out, these very basics things will help her tremendously. You'll see improvement every week. There are still alot of kids that are afraid of the ball, very low work rate, etc at this age, so if she isn't one of these, she'll be just fine as well, because those kids are the lowest on most teams.[/quote]
