First Time Soccer Coach
6 Nov 2006
Format:Paperback
My 5 year old signed up for instructional soccer, the local parks and rec. deparment needed coaches, next thing you know I'm a soccer coach. Step one, buy a book that will get me started on the right foot, and that's exactly what this book was. This book provided me with the guidelines for dealing with the parents as well as providing me with a refresher on the ins and outs of soccer. I would recommend this to any coach just starting out. If you have previous knowledge of soccer either playing or coaching this may not be the book for you as it is very basic.

An introduction only
24 Sep 2008
Format:Paperback
This book has some good pointers and some nice basic information about the rules of soccer, basic skills, etc. The information in the book though is probably not good for teams above U7, or for coaches with some experience coaching. The books concentrates on drills (not games!) that are often not very easily translated into real situations that occur in games. This means that when you put the kids on the field against another team, they are going to be unprepared. If you are a new coach with little to no soccer experience, this is a good place to start. If you are looking for anything more I would look elsewhere.

for our first time coaching it was really good. the reason for only 4 stars is that there aren't very many drills/exercises that one can do with the kids.
