Tired of soccer books that are full of drills to improve a players individual skills but lacking any ideas for game tactics? This book is a good mixture of strategies, tactics and related drills. Each chapter is by a different author that discuss various tactics and then presents several drills to reinforce the tactic. Tactics include "Playing Out of the Defending Third", "Creating Opportunities in the Attacking Third"' "Possession Soccer". Fourteen chapters in all, each with a different theme. A must book for the serious coach of age levels 12 and above.

This volume has some nice concepts to improve soccer tactics, but is nothing spectacular. A rather light read, containing limited examples of the various general tactics discussed. Many of the drills presented are contained in other books which offer more indepth discussion.

This book offers 150 tactical and skill-specifc drills that any coach will benefit from. The chapters are broken into attacking concepts such as "Attacking the Flanks" and "Changing the Point of Attack" with a great table of contents/drill finder. While the concepts themselves are not discussed in-depth, the exhaustive and clearly-explained volume of drills more than makes up for the limited examination of attacking soccer. Each drill has simple instructions and large, easy-to-read diagrams. The bottom line is that there are lots of drills in this book that will make your team better. Luxbacher is a drill genius, and most of the names in the book are well-recognized in the coaching community.

Outstanding soccer book. Drills and games for all levels of player. Easy to understand directions for coaches and players like. Recommended for beginners and experts.

A great instructional book, full of good ideas and useful drills. Graphics and description of how drills are to be conducted is very well laid out. I plan to use this book for developing goal scoring capabilities for our U9 Girls team. I would recommend his book for U9 and older players.
