Format:Paperback
I have been coaching youth soccer at various levels for nearly 15 years, and this past season I had more fun than any year before. The primary reasons: 1) my practices were more fun for me and the players 2) my practices were more productive. Both of these transformations came from reading this book. I wish I could thank Mr. Luxbacher personally.

Great book for coaches of travel and premier youth players with a 30-minute gap in their practice plan. Helps develop players' passion for the game with a large collection of fun, competitive games. Book helped me change from a well-intentioned, somewhat knowledgeable coach into a good coach with players who enjoy coming to practice. This is the coaching book that I refer to most.

This book is well laid out! Its sections and headings are distinct and although some drills are very straight forward, there are others which can be applied to players of all ages!
