[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I recognize that the more a player can juggle the better but can someone provide a minimum number of juggles a player should be able to do by age groups (i.e. U11, U12, etc.)?

My DD is 10 years old (U11), so I want to help her set realistic goals. Thank you. [/quote]

This is age not u(xx)
Age 10

8-10
Highly skilled
25-100+

age 11
15-12 alternating feet
Highly skilled
50 plus alternating feet

Age 12-14
Goal should be 100 plus alternating feet. Many will not get there. Also walking with the ball.

So as a bench mark, Arlington ‘08 girls have 6 teams(roughly 14 on a team). I think one girl can juggle and walk, easily juggling into the 250’s. The next highest is in the 80’s. I know because most of the girls keep track(lol).

Thank you so much. This is extremely helpful. My 10 year old DD is only able to consistently do 8 juggles and with a personal best is 15 alternating feet. She still has a long way to go. [/quote]

My DS is 10 and plays on a very strong B team. He hates juggling and for some reason the coach has never pushed it during practice so he isn’t motivated to work on it. He can consistently juggle 8-10 and tops out at 15.  I have tried bribes to motivate him but they don’t work. He is motivated to practice other soccer skills in the yard, attend clinics, etc so it’s not laziness. I just think juggling is incredibly frustrating because he can’t seem to get past this level. Would love tips for getting kids over the hurdle. I have even shown him YouTube videos that explain dos and don’ts.  The posts on this thread have me thinking he should just hang up his cleats. :([/quote]
