The first and only complete guide to coaching indoor soccer for kids
Out on the field, you've become a master at coaching your kids' soccer team. But now they're taking it indoors--and it's a whole new ball game.
Indoor soccer is becoming the most popular version of America's number-one family sport. Millions of kids all over the country are clamoring to play this fast-paced, high-scoring game that leaves outdoor soccer in the dust--and speed is the key. Very different from its slow-moving cousin, indoor soccer is a lot like hockey. The ball stays in continuous play, ricocheting off the boards and never going out of bounds. That means faster play and total action. Technique, performance, and speed are the essential ingredients of the game and a good coach must know the ins and outs of dribbling, passing, and ball control. Don't know the first thing about indoor soccer? Don't despair.
Fully endorsed by the United States Indoor Soccer Association, The Baffled Parent's Guide to Coaching Indoor Youth Soccer will not only get you through the game, it will also help you become the coach you'd like to be--the coach who can give kids the total sports experience they deserve.
Inside, you'll find everything a baffled coach needs to succeed:
- Learn the game's rules and objectives
- Survive your first practice and first game
- Teach basic skills for offense and defense
- Match your drills and strategies to age and ability
- Condition your players to avoid injury
- Handle problem parents and pressure
- Work with girls and boys
- Generate enthusiasm
- Make it fun and rewarding
With dozens of sure-fire tips, photographs, and step-by-step diagrams, this guide will help you and your young players get into the game for plenty of nonstop action and excitement all year round.
