Great book for the coaching of younger children. Provides a step by step format on how a practice should be run (and make it fun for the kids). Gives a 7 week practice plan where the children learn different skills appropriate to their age level.I recently attended a coaching clinic for younger children put on by the Soccer Coach at High Point University. I was amazed to find that a lot of his suggestions were exactly the same as what I have read in this book. The kids find the practices fun, and they are learning the fundamentals of soccer.
Teaches good, structure practice for young players

Extra good for the very beginners. Somewhat applicable to players aged 4-6. Structured practices grow in complexity as skills develop. Great idea for teaching heading skills, don't know why I didn't think of it. Easily understood and can be read in less than an hour.
Awesome
