Format:Paperback
I received this book yesterday, I have read/studied most of the drills and they look very good. I'm currently a coach of a soon-to-be under 13's team and the drills will come in very handy for their training sessions. Of course the usual suspects of drills are in there but there's also a lot of good new drills, which I will be going over with them. The book concentrates on all aspects of developing youngsters abilities and rather than boring drills the kids will enjoy the drills in this book. There are also a few pages on goalkeeper training, which I will defiantly being using. Whether your using the book for new ideas or to recap on the basics I highly recommended this book.
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Uses a very traditional and out dated form of coaching that is based on results as well as development (he talks a lot about formations, positioning and clearing the ball from certain areas of the pitch as quick as possible). At the younger ages it should be only about development. Also many of the exercises are very linear and repetitive which is has no representation to the variety and richness of the real game. However on a positive note there are a few good dribbling games for ages below 8. I would not recommend this book.
Format:Paperback
The drills are really confusing, even to more experienced coaches than myself that I've shown them to. One to avoid in my opinion.

Very Basic
This will not last too long on your shelf. It is very basic which is fine if you know absolutely nothing about training drills. Read more

Football coaching books
Probably the worst football coaching book I have read. Diagrams are confusing and the descriptions are very basic and not particularly easy to follow even as an FA qualified coach. Read more

Good for U12s and below
This is a decent coaching book for the price. A lot of the drills will already be familiar to you but its good to see them written down and clearly illustrated. Read more

Don't buy
I coach all the age groups noted in this book and i think these drills are very poorly thought out and i was very disapointed with the book.
