If two,times per week isn't enough ask your doc if she can train with an older group. But if she is "bored" with her team trainings change teams. she shouldn't be bored at that age. There is too much to learn. If she is bored, I would question the coach
I should rephrase that, she is not bored with her actual practices, she loves practice. She just wants more. 2 days a week is not nearly enough for her.
This is my first time through this (she is my oldest), so I'm not sure what is out there. I don't want her to burn out, but want to encourage the development right now.
Some camps or extra training are good options. My 10 year old loves her practices because of her soccer friends. Having one over to play and doing some juggling/passing for fun but mostly just being kids and having fun is what she is enjoying.
I think just balancing her life with some music, art, swimming, biking etc is fun and important too.
"One change to the RTC program this year will be the addition of our 2001 age group. Essentially, we are adding the U12 age
group now. The 2001’s will hold tryouts just like the 99’s and 00’s, but you won’t compete in the Timbers RTC Tournament in
March and you won’t move on to an ODP state team in May. The 2001 age group will be strictly a developmental age group
for the Timbers. We imagine it will be difficult to have full teams in this age group in Bend, Medford and Eugene, so players in
those regions will be able to try out for the 2000 age group and make those pools. We don’t anticipate Portland and
Vancouver having trouble with the 2001 age group and pool."
