Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Make each practice more challenging, productive, and fun with 125 games! Divided into six sections, Soccer Practice Games presents games on the following aspects:

· Warm-up and conditioning
· Passing and receiving
· Dribbling, shielding, and tackling
· Heading and shooting
· Tactical training
· Goalkeeper training

Each game maximizes player involvement, activity, and learning and contains at least one major objective related to player or team development. A detailed explanation and accompanying illustrations are provided for each game to make application easy. Games can be easily adapted to accommodate players of various ages and abilities.

Designed for beginning youth through high school competitive levels, Soccer Practice Games is a big winner among coaches and those who teach soccer. Whether working with whole teams, small groups, or players one-on-one, it is a fun and effective way to instruct and learn the game.

From the Publisher
"Not just another training guide, but a tool coaches of all age groups can use, over and over again. If you can't run a better practice after reading this, you should consider a different line of work!"

Dan Woog Executive Editor Soccer America's Youth Soccer Letter

"...loaded with easy-to-understand, exciting games that would be an asset to any youth coach developing players and teams by creating fun and beneficial practice sessions. This is one reference no youth coach should be without."

Gordon M. Butler National Chief Coach Soccer Association for Youth USA

"For the youth coach who has only 5 or 10 minutes to plan a practice, this book is a godsend."

Joe Pravey Editor and Associate Publisher Soccer Jr. Magazine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every youth coach MUST own this book., November 24, 1998
By "fkass17" (Bethesda, MD) - See all my reviews
I have been coaching youth soccer at various levels for nearly 15 years, and this past season I had more fun than any year before. The primary reasons: 1) my practices were more fun for me and the players 2) my practices were more productive. Both of these transformations came from reading this book. I wish I could thank Mr. Luxbacher personally.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent collection of games to add fun to practice, July 10, 1998
By A Customer
Great book for coaches of travel and premier youth players with a 30-minute gap in their practice plan. Helps develop players' passion for the game with a large collection of fun, competitive games. Book helped me change from a well-intentioned, somewhat knowledgeable coach into a good coach with players who enjoy coming to practice. This is the coaching book that I refer to most.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keeps the players moving., March 8, 2001
By "cotag" (Green Lane, PA United States) - See all my reviews
Every soccer coach should have this resource in their library. Your players will NEVER be bored if you use just some of the "games" illustrated in this book. My daughter's travel team coach has included drills from the book in just about every practice for the last two seasons and almost every one of them is a hit with the players. They're having so much fun playing these "games" the girls don't realize the good, solid, soccer skills and techniques they're developing.
