USER REVIEWS

Excellent Book for Coaches of U12 and Younger
~ Written on Mar 24, 2009. 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.

This book is a mix of some of the more traditional, well known soccer drills/games and some more unusual one. The best part about this collection of exercises is that most of them are designed to be fun, so the kids will actually enjoy doing them.

Other coaches will look at you strangely for some of the games in this book. That is, until they see how good your team is.

I say that from experience. I incorporated the leapfrog exercise into our warm-ups, and people thought I was crazy, but the team was developing their strength and balance, and the kids loved it!

If I could only pick one book of activities to use during practices, this would be my choice.

Decent Resource for Youth Soccer Coaches
~ Written on Aug 11, 2007. out of users found this review helpful.

These game-style drills make soccer practices much more fun, and they help teach fundamentals at the same time. This book doesn't really get into strategies or position playing, but it is a good collection of drills that will keep all of your players busy and learning.

One of the better tools for coaches of pre High School players
~ Written on Jun 11, 2007. out of users found this review helpful.

This is a useful book when you know what you want to work on with your players and are just looking for another way to approach it. Not all the games are going to be effective but you should find some that will apply to your team and age group. Specifically, if players can't "score' and earn points "goals" then they are of more limited use and are really drills not games. The book has both.

Luxbacher's the Best!

I've read all of Luxbacher's soccer books. Judging by how he writes, he's one of the best youth coaches in America. I've incorporated many of Luxbacher's drills and small-sided games into my sons' teams' practices. Luxbacher and publisher Human Kinetics are the best in America!
