[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only girls that can juggle a lot under the age of 9 or 10 are the ones forced to practice by their parents. [/quote]

lots of competitive u9 girls that were trying to out-do each other in juggling number and using all parts of body. And once they figured out how to get past 3, then 20, etc  it was no longer a burdensome exercise for the girls. The excitement on my daughters face is awesome everytime they break their record or incorporates  a new move.

My girls also want to be the best and every time they see something new they want to figure it out and do one better. The first time they really used their non-dom foot in games was they day the light clicked that there were more tools in the toolbox, rather than just hearing it from trainers.

I think we really still don't have the same expectations/challenges for girls as we do for boys. we treat them very differently, sometimes for appropriate reasons and sometimes for way outdated and inappropriate. that's typically a totally different conversation, but I think speed of play and technical skills challenges appear to be much delayed in appearance.
maybe it's due to the lower volume of girls playing and the lack of resources devoted and the weaker future/career prospects and it's effect on the pool.

+100 some girl want to do it. Once you get above 20 consistency, it’s fun to do. Plus some players are more of a natural vs others.[/quote]
