Product Description
The sport of roller (in-line) hockey is exploding. New leagues are being formed and existing leagues are doubling, tripling, and even quadrupling in size leading to a demand by players, coaches, parents, and league directors for educational materials that will help them understand the game, improve their knowledge of the sport, and give them confidence at the various levels of competition. Roller Hockey: Skills and Strategies for Winning on Wheels is the most in-depth publication available for both coaches and players. It contains several tools in an easy-to-understand consistent teaching format that will help coaches and players improve their performance. Anyone interested in roller hockey will find a complete guide to the the game in this book--from fundamentals to advanced techniques, from rules to equipment, as well as practical insights based on author Greg Siller's own experiences. "Every roller hockey player, parent ,and coach should own this book. It's far ahead of anything else that has been published on the sport. It's in a league of its own." -- Paul Chapey, Team USA World Roller Hockey Coach "The USAC/RS, as the Olympic National Governing Body and sponsor of amateur roller skating competitions for nearly 60 years, recommends this guide to roller hockey enthusiasts of all skill levels. Greg Siller should be commended for the strategically effective yet easy-to-follow style of this instructional guide. Everyone can learn a thing or two by taking a closer look." --George H. Pickard, Executive Director, USAC/RS "The unique benefit of this book is that it can be used by beginner youth teams through those teams competing in the RHI. Concepts are well explained from basic strategy and practice situations through defensive, transition, and offensive zone play." -- Kelly Dyer, Professional Roller and Ice Hockey Goaltender "This book deals with all of the imporatant aspects of how to win in roller hockey by stressing the ABC's of the most basic fundamentals. This book is a must read for all hockey coaches." -- Ralph Beckstrom, Commissioner, Roller Hockey International About the Author Greg Siller has spent more than 25 years as an ice hockey player in the United States and Canada, and has more than five years of roller hockey experience as a player, coach, official, and instructor.

5.0 out of 5 stars An ideal book for coaches of inline and quad skate hockey, 29 Jan 2002
By A Customer
If you are a coach of a roller hockey team, whether on inline or quad skates,this book is for you. It is split into seperate chapters on each aspect of the game. Aspects of the game covered include attack and defence, stick handling, passing, goal keeping and more. Each chapter has basic and advanced techniques,and easily followed text and associated diagrams. Even if you are an exoerience coach, there will undoubtedly be new ideas for you to try. Well worth the money, it delivers what the title promises.

The only drawback? If you are coaching quad skate roller hockey, some of the techniques specific to inline skating have to be ignored - there aren't many though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable book and useful as well., 21 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This book provides a good all round guide to skills needed to play and to coach Roller Hockey, in addition to all of the drills needed to become a proficient and successful hockey player. However, it is best used by those who want to play the game and to win. It is not really suitable for the beginner, as it is presented in far to much detail for what a beginner would need. For the experienced player, looking to become the best though, there is no substitute. This book has certainly helped me improve my game.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book for team skills and coaching development, 30 May 1999
By A Customer
Book has the necessary detail to teach players and coaches without being confusing or difficult to follow.

An excellent travel team handbook with plenty of scouting ideas for teams and players.

Used extensively for team tryouts to help reduce bias.

Does a good job on explaining the basics of roller hockey instead of just using ice hockey skills. Good drill instructions for the coach. Read more
