[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid can't juggle LOL but made huge club 2nd team - out of more than 5.  For real.  They have lots of speed and pretty [b]good tech ability,[/b] aggressive.  [b]But no can do on the juggle[/b] :)  I say DC has to be the only kid on a high team who can't juggle. I've always wondered exactly how important it is to juggle?  That doesn't mean kid can't handle the ball pretty in real time like a throw ins, just that kid doesn't like to juggle as a technical exercise.[/quote]

oxymoron

Juggling shows balance, touch, control, patience and the discipline to put in work (that's what it tells real coaches)
Impossible that a kid can have touch and control under pressure in game but can't juggle a ball unopposed. Impossible

Here's something you never see at a high level academy. A kid who can't juggle
Here's something you never see on a professional or semi-pro team. A player who can't juggle

Do you have to be able to juggle to a thousand? No
Do you have to be able to control a ball using different parts of your body to be above a recreational level player (regardless of what you call yourself). Yes[/quote]

You don't have to have juggle to have great first touch.  [/quote]

If you can't juggle or use a rebounder without letting the ball drop constantly, you can't have great first touch with anything not already on the ground.
To say otherwise is ludicrous and showing lack of knowledge on the sport

which parts of your body are you using during the game differently than what it takes to juggle?  [/quote]
