Juggling is great! Past a certain number (or time) is not adding value. Multiple surface touches is just a part of becoming a better player.
Yes, 2 were on the U17 WC team... but, by all means, hate on the kids for a bad tournament. I'm sure your child is better than all on that roster. SMH
What a mean spirited comment that poster made
Not my 7 y.o. PP but this is too good. Even if those girls are such prolific jugglers, that skill set was not very helpful. Maybe we do meed that 7yo for the future teams.
Your kid can't juggle and because she can't juggle you don't think it is very important. We get it. Nobody said that juggling makes a great player. But seriously, how good could your kids touch really be if she can't even juggle? Juggling demonstrates one simple fact, that a kid has the ball at their feet A LOT. There isn't another activity that requires less material, space or support to do that can develop comfort with the ball more than juggling.
If your kid is not even motivated to juggle, no matter what lack of benefits you believe can come from doing so, it tells me a couple of things:
1. Your kid gives up when things are hard.
2. Your kid does not work enough away from organized activities.
3. Your kid lacks a true relationship and kinesiology with the ball.
Juggling is very useful but don’t be a weirdo. It doesn’t tell you anything about anybody’s kid.

Right, because the Germans and Koreans that we lost too, and the Spaniards who won the tournament, probably aren't very good at juggling at all.

If a 2 year old can do it, then your 6-8 year olds can't make excuses for not at least trying / practicing

It isn't the only thing, but I would definitely be shocked at a high level player who can't juggle (not a player who plays in a high level league, because not everyone who makes a team belongs on the team). Not every juggler can play, but every truly high level player can absolutely juggle.

My son is 6 and they introduced this tonight he can do 2 and is so frustrated that my television, my frame, the dog, my daughter’s art project and I have all suffered the missed juggles. I took a tip from this thread and we decided on a goal of 6 juggles (for every year of his age) in a month. Is that an outlandish goal for his age. Maybe I got over excited at seeing that little boys video someone posted.
