My son (10) decided to commit to soccer as his main sport. We have recently been discovering that while he’s good in our small town, he doesn’t have good ball control at all. He has played a lot of sports and is athletic.

Yesterday he went to a tryout and the coach started by asking them juggle! Is this normal? He couldn’t do 1. It threw him off and overall he didn’t play well.

My friend whose daughter is amazing and plays for a top club says you can’t teach that in a week, and just take an offer from what he calls the “Walmart club that will take anyone” and “do more ball mastery”.

Sorry this is more of a ramble/rant.

Sincerely,

A clueless Dad
