good book for first time coach

So far this book has been very helpful and quick to read for the first time coach of girls soccer (age 6, 7, 8). If you are trying to get to a club soccer level I think there are other books that may be better but this is ideal for the busy person who is new at coaching.

very helpful

for our first time coaching it was really good. the reason for only 4 stars is that there aren't very many drills/exercises that one can do with the kids.

Coaching Soccer For Dummies

This is a great book for anyone thinking of coaching a soccer team..it is full of great information.

First Time Soccer Coach

My 5 year old signed up for instructional soccer, the local parks and rec. deparment needed coaches, next thing you know I'm a soccer coach. Step one, buy a book that will get me started on the right foot, and that's exactly what this book was. This book provided me with the guidelines for dealing with the parents as well as providing me with a refresher on the ins and outs of soccer. I would recommend this to any coach just starting out. If you have previous knowledge of soccer either playing or coaching this may not be the book for you as it is very basic.
