5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide for coaches of any age group, 24 May 2004
By S. Cook "Cookie" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have a library of many football coaching books, but this is the one book I refer to the most. Not only does it give good clear descriptions of exercises, but it covers everything from basic techniques right through to coaching attacking & defending and positional play.

Coaches that are new to the game and have no basic training will also find some great help in dealing with parents, setting up coaching sessions, handling difficult players and also ethical values.

I would advise any budding coach to get some formal training through their football association, but if that is not possible then this book is definitely the next best thing and covers many topics that you'll find on coaching courses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative and usefull book for the intermediate coach, 7 Dec 1998
By A Customer
I have coached youth rec. soccer for 4 years and own several books on this subject . Alan Hargreaves Skills and Stategies for Coaching Soccer is by far the best book I have , and use the most .It is very clear and concise and unlike several books I've purchased , most all the info and drills are useable .I would not recommend this book for a first time coach . But for a coach that wants to bring their soccer knowlege to the next level . Great book !

4.0 out of 5 stars All-around book for beginner to intermediate soccer coaching, 18 April 1997
By A Customer
This is a decently written book for beginner to intermediate youth soccer coaching. It probably would be found somewhat lacking in details for advanced coaches. The author was a former defensive player in England, and this is reflected in the structured nature of the coaching style that he advocates, as well as in the solid chapter on defensive play. He has a lot of good advice on how to handle players and parents as well. Offensive schemes described in the book are fairly conventional, which is probably where this book could be improved the most.
