Review of The |Coaches Collection of Soccer Drills [Posted on 2000-02-18]
I have owned a copy of this book for over a year. I would rate this book essential for beginning to intermediate soccer coaches. I have coached youth soccer for 4 years (ages 5-10 rec. and select) and have found this book to make selecting drills simple. The drawings are plain ("X's" and "O's") and clearly illustrate each drill. I looked at several other books that utilized nice graphics and photos to show how to run each drill. However, the clear, simple and concise use of diagrams makes the most complex drill easy to understand and run. In addition, each drill is listed by primary area of emphasis (passing, defense, passing, shooting, etc.) so that you can select one or more drills to emphasize the part of the game your team needs to work on. I highly recommend this book as a supplement to coaching soccer to youth players.

A first-rate collection [Posted on 2000-07-26]
The collection covers a wide variety of drills, from fitness to fundamental skills to tactics. The authors have made a serious effort to index the skills being emphasized, and in large part were successful; it would be possible to plan many, many practices using no other source. The drills are presented clearly, with the text and diagrams interacting to make each drill easily accessible. My only complaint -- and it's minor -- is that there is some repetition; some of the later drills are variations of the earlier ones.

I have been coaching for six years and playing for 20, and I found this to be a very valuable source.
