Maybe it's something else but...The best players on my son's 06 team are also the best jugglers. The best shooters, best dribblers, best passers, etc. Not because juggling helps with all this but it's pretty hard to love soccer and not be good at juggling. The best kids do it as soon as they get to the field...if they aren't doing goalie in and goalie out. : )

He just looked rusty. You can tell he can juggle.
The point is not that he can't juggle, but the point is that you can be a world class player without doing 5,000 consecutive juggles.
Congratulations! Your kid is a future world class player who can’t juggle.
What does it have to do with my kid? He can juggle and do around the world multiple times, but it does not make him a world class player. How many times does Messi or Modric juggle in a game? On the other hand, there are certain skills, like passing,receiving,dribbling, tackling, etc, that players have to execute many times in each game. Proficiency in juggling does not equal good technique.
Proficiency at juggling demonstrates comfort with the ball and good touch. Nobody has claimed otherwise.
What are the benefits of not being proficient at juggling again?

Then progress to walking, running, changing direction, and wall juggling.
Once you've mustered that, you can juggle your way to the nearest circus.
Lemme guess...your kid was the 11-year-old-with-a-mustache star player. After four years of Fortnite, can’t understand why he can’t make a team.

Can you share what you do? I started my 8-yo last week who could only do one so far (is it even juggling when you could only do one?
)

Sure...it takes hard work.
Obviously, there are parents here whose kids can't juggle, and are looking for us to pat them on the head and say "there's nothing to worry about."
