Don’t coach your team without this book! Every soccer coach wants their team to be the best it can be. That takes a lot of work and knowledge. This book is designed to give the coach everything they need to get the job done. I go into detail of what is needed at age 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Each age bracket requires different skills and techniques and each are separated so you can use the book as a step-by-step guide. Give yourself the start you need to become a great coach and to develop the very best soccer players. This book is designed for you to go step-by-step while you master the art of teaching soccer skills the players need and then use the illustrated drills to make them the best they can be. Starting with the very basic skills, the book lays out what is needed and advances as your players progress in age and ability. There are separate skills and drills for every age from 4 to 8 years old. Everything you need to be a successful youth soccer coach is in this book: Getting Started, Soccer Field Layout, Player Positions, Basic Rules of the Game, Starts & Restarts, Coach, Player & Parent Equipment Referee & Referee Signals Player Characteristics, Conducting A Parents Meeting, Conditioning & Performance, Starting Each Practice, Teaching Skills & Drills, Start & Restart Practice, Offense & Defense Drills, Game Preparation, Game Formations, Nutrition & Water, Handling Parents, Fun Things To Do, and Full Glossary Of Soccer Terms

With 14 million children playing organized soccer in the U.S., it’s likely that your child will play at some point—and you may be the coach! While the rules of soccer are simple (though they are explained here), the techniques for coaching young children are not. I have coached youth soccer for over 27 years and fully, understands what it takes to work with 4- to 8-year-olds. It is all laid out in this book. I cover everything from the rules and the layout of the field to the logistics of finding playing space, setting up practices, and even handling pesky parents. I also fully recognize that 4- to 6-year-old players have different needs from 6- to 8-year-old players, and I have provided extensive drill ideas for coaches of both age groups.
