Each book in this series is packed with practical exercises and features, information and expert advice, which will improve your understanding and enhance your ability and enjoyment of the world's greatest game.



A straightforward, lively and practical guide, this book covers the essential aspects of coaching including ethics and developing a code of conduct, team strategies, tactics, leadership and management.



It looks at both attacking and defending squad practices, and has a chapter devoted to coaching goalkeepers. This book is essential reading for anyone involved in football - not just coaches and those interested in coaching, but players and parents also.



'Be a part of the game.'

4.0 out of 5 stars Good information!, 8 Sep 2005
I found the book quite helpfull, how ever i do not believe it is a basic guide! and is not aimed at all ages. There is some good information and drills in the book and some really good questions to ask players about key momments of the game. would advise anyone to buy this after all it is quite cheap and i believe it is value for money.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Offical FA Guide to Basic Team Coaching, 3 Jan 2005
When reading the synopsis to this book online it clearly states "any age, any level ".When I started to read this book I was surprised to read in the Introduction that in fact it is assumed that the team is 11-a-side with players who are at least 13 years old. So if you are starting to manage/coach a younger team which are at the 7-a-side stage its a bit disappointing. This should have been mentioned in the book details because it would have stopped me and others from buying it. I`ve gone on to read the rest of this book and it has some decent content but really is not ideal for the level in which I was interested in.

By A. J. Dennis - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I could've written this book. Gather together some overpaid wannabe male models who like to kick a ball around badly occasionally, add a coaching team who aren't too bothered, throw in enough money to buy most of the world, lose alot, collect wages. Sorted!
