Emphasis on coaching, not football information., 16 Aug 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coaching Youth Football (Paperback)
This is a fantastic book for coaches that already know quite a bit about football, but are not sure how to best transfer their knowledge to a bunch of 6-12 year old kids. The book advocates a "games approach" to teaching football. It keeps the kids interested and thinking. It has worked great for me. When it is time to switch to the next teaching drill/game I nearly always have multiple kids asking, "Can we do it one more time?" We worked on kick off and kick off returns for 45 minutes yesterday using the "games approach". The kids learned a lot and they were begging to do it again. It was 95 degrees and these kids are begging to run the full length of the field over and over again!!! If you are fairly comfortable with your football knowledge, but not sure about coaching techniques, this is a fantastic book. Even if you are an experienced coach, you might what to look at this fresh, innovative approach to coaching kids.

Recommended!, 22 Sep 2005
By Guy Johnson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coaching Youth Football (Paperback)
Teaching skills to first time players can be tricky business, but the ASEP youth football book leaves no stone unturned. Having never been a lineman and having limited playing experience (over 20 years ago), the various blocking drills have really helped with my instruction this season. This book helped get me up to speed and I'd highly recommend it to anyone facing the daunting task of coaching kids football for the first time.

Excellent Coaching Book!!, 4 Oct 2005
By K. C. Driscoll - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coaching Youth Football (Paperback)
I've found Coaching Youth Football to be an excellent primer for
coaching my son's youth team this season. It includes all the background info a coach might need to build a program and keeps the focus on making the game fun. A positive introduction to this tremendous sport is whatI've found most kids need and most parents want. This book has helped me to teach the boys the game while keeping things fun and safe. A+++.
