How important is being proficient with both feet (dribbling, passing and kicking) for U12 Girls?  Are most or all ECNL U12/13 girls proficient with both feet?[/quote]

Extremely important. You've got to have two good feet, especially for passing. Imagine being a midfielder and only being able to use your right foot. That means you can only open your body up to the right say. So essentially, you are one-dimensional. You've got to be able to receive the ball on both feet to be able to have the option to play either side. Now you definitely don't have to have shooting prowess with both feet but you've got to be able to dribble and pass with two feet. Also, the weak foot doesn't get better over time. It has to be worked on and practiced every single day. That's why using both feet is supposed to be highly emphasize when players are really young because its much easier to get both feet improving at that age compared to as they get older. [/quote]

So are all or most ECNL girls proficient with both feet then, Coach?[/quote]
