What Others Say
Highly recommended
I was volunteered to coach soccer for older kids. I highly recommend The Baffled Parent's Guide to Coaching Youth Soccer if you find yourself in the same position.
The author's recommendations about coaching and drills made the season a complete success.

I bought this for my daughter who volunteered to be Soccer Coach for the first time. I say she wanted to do it but perhaps was more stong armed into doing it. She found it helpful.
coaching soccer-a baffled parents guide
The book gave very helpful information. I have never coached anything and it gave helpful insight into giving the best experience I can into my son's 4 yr old soccer team.
Great Book!
I'm a second year coach with very limited playing experience. I played soccer during elementary school but it was essentially mob ball. The Baffled Parent's Guide to Coaching Youth Soccer has helped a great deal. It gives great suggestions for organizing practices and the drills, ahem I mean games, are great. The problem, analysis, solution section is also very helpful.
Wonderful! Highly Recommended!
The Baffled Parent's Guide to Coaching Youth Soccer helped organize my practices and provided ideas for drills that kept my U8 Boys team interested the entire season. I received numerous compliments from parents that their kids enjoyed the variety of "games" (i.e. drills) we played in practice. My team went 11-2 this past season and all my players chose to return for the spring season over baseball and other sports. I honestly feel The Baffled Parent's Guide to Coaching Youth Soccer improved my coaching style and played a large part in the success of our team.
