with catching tennis balls or even just one ball (meaning she threw them up in the air for her to catch them but can never catch it as it goes either into the different direction or she just miss it!!)

is this normal?

Does she have any other motor coordination issues - writing, jumping, hopping, riding a bike etc or just hand /eye

writing is getting neater, jumping - fine, hopping - fine, riding a bike - still got the stabilisers on....she always had been a clumsy type as guaranteed that if u give her something to hold for u she always dropped it!

Might be a tad abnormal but by the sounds of it it doesn't interfere with her everyday life so probably not a cause for concern.

Can I just ask you not to call her 'clumsy' to her face? I was very like this as a child, and was always labelled 'clumsy' by my parents, and was the person always laughed at in PE.
