[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Son is U9 on the team just below top team in club. He’s certainly not the best but enjoys playing and being on a team. But what’s frustrating is that he will never work alone in the back yard on improving his touches. How many years of not being on the top team do you continue to do in travel soccer? Still so young but do things turn around oh so much if they don’t practice outside practice. Am I expecting too much of an 8 year old? [/quote] It is unusual for 8-year-olds to do a lot of practice at anything -- sports, musical instrument, dance, etc. Of course there are exceptions, but your child sounds like a typical kid, and as long as he is having fun that is all that matters at this age. One way that I was able to "trick" my young kids into practicing soccer more regularly was to teach them how to juggle. Once a child begins to get the hang of it, it can be addictive, and can lead them into practicing other aspects of the game. [/quote]
