[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know the benefits of juggling, but my DD gets easily bored doing it.  She can routinely get between 20-25 juggles.

She prefers doing “wall ball”. She usually does 150-200 one-touch kick Wall Balls. These one touch kicks include volleys

Hence my question. Is Wall Ball Kicks a good alternative to juggles or is this a completely different skill?[/quote]

Yes I think Wall Ball is probably better than Juggling for developing First Touch.  The good thing about Juggling is you can do it almost anywhere (e.g. - basement) which allows a kid to do it whenever they want.  But if your DD has regular access to a Wall, I think that probably simulates First Touch in a game better than Juggling.  With either, I think continued improvement and benefit is dependent on the player mixing it up and challenging themselves.  That's where the 1000+ juggles could be sub-optimal.  In order to get that type of consistency with any skill you need to do it in a very consistent and repetitive manner.  When you get to that level of consistency, I am not sure how much 1000 times vs 500 times vs 100 times is really developing additional skill that will translate to the game.
