Customer Reviews

It it a lot of fun.

This book gives you a lot of ideas for you and your team to do. It really helped my soccer skills.

So many good drills I can't begin to use them all!

For a coach desiring to teach skills to individuals, small groups, or team drills, this book has it all. As a newcomer to the game three years ago, but a former coach of other High School level sports, I found this book jam-packed with useful drills. It can be beneficial to everyone from a U-6 coach to the High School level. The wide variety of drills addressing so many different skills, allows me to keep my practices fun and fresh for my team. I can't comment from the viewpoint of an experienced soccer coach, but from my perspective of coaching youth teams for 3 years, it was easily the best spent money of the year for my team. Any coach wanting to teach his/her team new skills in a fun and organized way should really take a look at this one. It even prompted me to invent two or three new drills of my own that the team (U-10) loves to practice.

Excellent for 15 to 17 years old advanced players.

I have had this book for a year and I have found it to be extremely useful. To get most out of this book, players should have good talent level and they should have got used to long-term practicing. This book is good handbook when creating an own playing system or way to play. It is excellent handbook, when planning own practices - it gives new ideas and it may be used as the base of all coaching work.
