[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for your responses! That gives us a bit of hope. I thought our DD did really well during tryouts, so we were a bit surprised that she didn't even make the white team. [/quote] Does he have foot skills? Does he control the ball well? Does he know how to pass? Move when he doesn't have the ball? Does he play at a high speed?[/quote] She is quick, passes well, moves well without the ball, but needs better ball control. We're working on this. [/quote] First touch is a big thing at Stoddert. Also it's not a kick the hall real hard kind of game. Have her do clinics - the Washington Spirit has some good ones. Summer camps? Or have her tryout for a different team and try again another season. [/quote] Thanks for your great advice! She did First Touch winter clinic with DCYF and has done various summer soccer camps, but I think we don't play enough soccer in the yard on a day to day basis to increase her ball control. We will take your advice and look for more clinics. However, we are still waiting I see if she gets onto a PPA team. Wish her luck![/quote]
