Product Description
The fun and easy way to coach youth hockey – no experience required!

Hockey is growing in leaps and bounds around the world, but the demand for qualified coaches far outstrips availability. Moms and dads are being recruited to step in and assume the role of coach even with nothing more than feigned interest for credentials. Coaching Hockey For Dummies is ideally suited to meet these growing needs: its message is clear, the information thorough and user friendly, and it brings along a great attitude.

For anyone new to coaching, Coaching Hockey For Dummies will provide an invaluable reference. Unlike other coaching books, which only cover what happens on the ice, Coaching Hockey For Dummies covers every aspect of hockey coaching, from what equipment a coach needs, to holding player-parent meetings, to the perfect drills to develop individual and team skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, March 19, 2009
By Rob (Derry, NH) - See all my reviews
As a coach who learned to play hockey as an adult, I'm always looking for more information. Many coaching books say the same things, and most leave out the kind of information that you probably would already know if you grew up playing the sport in organized leagues. By contrast, this book does an excellent job at pointing out things that may not be obvious to a new coach. It's extremely well-organized and well-written, with a mixture of theory and practical tips.

One of the best hockey coaching books out there, and definitely not just for dummies...
