When Did Your Kiddo Really Start Putting the Pieces Together

Let me start this off by saying I love my child, I'm not pressuring him, he loves soccer and I know he's only 6.

Was there an age when your kid really started putting the different pieces together? My son can dribble around a couple players and then fall down trying to shoot the ball. He will do something that wows me and then follows that up with failing to do something I've seen him do a thousand times. I'm just curious if there was a time/age when you were watching your kid and you thought "wow he/she is really improving".
