[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid hit 1200 at 9 yrs and 1 month. He’s able to use both feet equally well and is now doing instep and outstep juggling. The biggest thing it’s helped him with is his first touch. He can handle a hard pass with ease and make it look routine. [/quote]

My 12 year old is and was a good juggler since he was little.  Broke 100 when he was 7 and hit 1000 by 9.  He can alternate feet, do ladders, just as good with his left as his right, around the worlds, thighs, hit it high every 3rd touch, over his head, etc. He's won a few juggling competitions at camps and tournaments, whatever...probably similar to your child. As you know or can imagine, my son has put ALOT of time into juggling.  However, I often wonder if playing wall ball would have been just as productive or even more so.  In other words, if he put in the same amount of time into just playing the ball off a wall and working on receiving with different surfaces, etc. would that have been better for him.  I'd have to assume that wall ball develops touch way better than juggling. Anyone disagree?[/quote]
