I used to think soccer didn't require much strategy...you either had the skill or you didn't. The drills in this book helped me overcome my lack of skill. It also made me appreciate the sport a lot better.

I recommend this to parents who have kids playing soccer and who themselves have very little background in soccer like me.

These drills were a great way for me to get involved with my daughter's love for soccer. Now, I feel like I am participating in the sport with her.

This book breaks down soccer skills into a variety of drills. Many of these drills can be performed alone, with another person, or in a team concept. I found them to be very practical while having enough variety to keep them fun as well. The Olympic section documents the history of Olympic soccer in a concise and entertaining manner. A good book to read if you want to fully enjoy this years' Olympics.

I have read a few books on soccer drills before, and looked at many more. This book impressed me because it had pictures, not stick figures and confusing diagrams. Each drill had a picture to accompany it, but more importantly, the drills in the book seemed real simple to follow and had real game value. I liked how the author gave each drill a value, and the fact that each had an age recommendation and skill level!

These are by far the simplest drills I've seen and practiced with my team. Real easy to do and remember for those who don't want complicated practices...good book!

I knew little about soccer before buying this book. The drills in it are very concise and "practical." They're real easy to perform and I can see immediate improvement after repetition. Great gift idea for someone you know who should learn more about the game.

Enjoyed the informative, easy-paced style. Unlike other books, this book did not treat me like a complete idiot, but introduced me to new subjects with respect and good information. Would highly recommend this book to soccer players and coaches of all levels.

This was the first soccer drills book I read, and I thought it was excellent and easy to understand.

I especially enjoyed the special section on Olympic soccer. This section was full of historical perspective and great action photos of some of my favorite players of all time who I didn't even know had played at the Olympics. That alone made it worthwhile for me to buy this book.

This book taught me all the basic drills and then some. I feel I am really ready to work with my team.
