I would hope your not juggling the ball in games haha. May have something to do with it...

Based off what the OP said, I was thinking along the lines of 6 days a week 30 minutes at a time doing different juggling/skill drills. Raising the individual players ability to control the ball will make passing, dribbling, trapping, etc so much easier.

Seems like we're just on different sides of the same problem. I wanna come at it from the left and you from the right. Whatever works. Maybe a mix of both? Theres def no harm in the kids doing anything skill related as long as they can run for a decent period and aren't going to die.

O no question they need to be able to run. Thats what the other 1 1/2 hrs of the practice should be focused on...scrimmages, team oriented drills, and so forth. Designing drills to get players moving in game situations is probably the easiest to do when it comes to soccer.
