Very usefull insights into soccers "set plays",
By A Customer
This review is from: Soccer Restart Plays (Paperback)
While soccer is primarily a dynamic sport with ever-changing positions and opportunities, there are moments that can be scripted - dead ball situations. "Soccer Restart Plays" describes in detail how any team can effectively take advantage of these golden moments and create excellent scoring opportunities. Clear diagrams of corner kick, direct and indirect kicks and throw-ins detail actions and responsibilities of key players. I have coached teams that scored twice in the final at the USA Cup on plays from this book! I high recommend it to any serious coach. Scott Lockwood

Championship book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Soccer Restart Plays-2nd Edition (Paperback)
This book was a tremedous resource for our team this year. It made the difference in our set pieces and gave the players confidence in executing them. Everytime we were awarded a free kick or corner kick the players truly saw it as an opportunity to score - and very often we did. Easy to understand and useful diagrams.

This review is from: Soccer Restart Plays-2nd Edition (Paperback)
If you're an expert coach with a team of skilled U14 or older players, you may find value in this book. The diagrams are detailed, explanations and tips are minimal and overall it has not proved to be helpful to me in coaching my u10 travelling team. The restart chapter in Alan Hargreaves' indispensable "Skills and Strategies for Coaching Soccer" proved to be much more helpful.
