An fine book for beginning to intermediate coaches,
By A Customer
This review is from: Soccer Coach's Guide To Practices, Drills & Skill Training (Paperback)
This is a fine book for beginning to intermediate youth coaches. The book is especially strong in pointing out the proper forms for passing, shielding, kicking, and receiving the ball. Note: your kids will never become good soccer players unless they first know the proper techniques, and then can execute them. (It's dissappointing to see our top national team players fail to use proper form when receiving a rolled ball...something they should have learned at U-8!) This book explains the techniques clearly, with good photo illustrations. Book is weak on dribbling moves -- get Coerver for that. Good practice drills.But the technical descriptions is where this book shines.

excellent guide for new coaches,
By A Customer
This review is from: Soccer Coach's Guide To Practices, Drills & Skill Training (Paperback)
I found that the book was divided very well into sections dealing with the various skill topics. Drills for several age groups and skill levels from beginner to advanced. Individual, small group, and large group drills. These may not all apply to your situation, but I find that I keep going back for more as my kids grow and develop. I am a "parent" coach for recreational and tournament teams.

this book is garbage,
By A Customer
This review is from: Soccer Coach's Guide To Practices, Drills & Skill Training (Paperback)
Lauffer, writes a simple, and useless tactical book. Its contents could have been written by a 10 year old girl. After seing this man coach in action, he is complete crap and should never ever be giving advice to ANYONE on the game,cheers
