These game-style drills make soccer practices much more fun, and they help teach fundamentals at the same time. This book doesnt 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.

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 cant "score and earn points "goals" then they are of more limited use and are really drills not games. The book has both.

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

One of the best books on soccer coaching ever. The drills are very simple to follow. I have incorporated some of the ideas into my own coaching sessions and the team that I coach really loves it. They have fun whilst at the same time they learn some basic skills. With this book, you will not be short of ideas on how to run soccer practices.

This is my first year coaching. I was worried what/how to teach 3 & 4th graders. This book gave MANY excellent drills and games for the kids to play and learn. The diagrams were very helpful. If your looking for a good book with lots of great ideas...this is great for any level player or coach!!

This book shows many training games. It tells you how to do it and shows a picture. The game I liked best is the 4 Zone passing game. Each games tells you the objectives, equipment, organization, directions and coaching points. I liked this book because it has games that I like.

No matter how many other soccer coaching books you buy, you will always keep coming back to this one. I have about 20 books, but this is the one whose games consistently find their way into practices. The games are simple, so you can get the players going right away. The games are focused, so the players can become effective with one skill without having to master 6 others at the same time. The games are quick, so you can run them for 5 minutes or 45 minutes and get something out of them. The games are fun, so you can use them again and again, and get some productive learning over the course of a season.

Every soccer coach should have this resource in their library. Your players will NEVER be bored if you use just some of the "games" illustrated in this book. My daughters travel team coach has included drills from the book in just about every practice for the last two seasons and almost every one of them is a hit with the players. Theyre having so much fun playing these "games" the girls dont realize the good, solid, soccer skills and techniques theyre developing.

I have been coaching youth soccer at various levels for nearly 15 years, and this past season I had more fun than any year before. The primary reasons: 1) my practices were more fun for me and the players 2) my practices were more productive. Both of these transformations came from reading this book. I wish I could thank Mr. Luxbacher personally.

Great book for coaches of travel and premier youth players with a 30-minute gap in their practice plan. Helps develop players passion for the game with a large collection of fun, competitive games. Book helped me change from a well-intentioned, somewhat knowledgeable coach into a good coach with players who enjoy coming to practice. This is the coaching book that I refer to most.

Great source of games to develop specific skills, with many suggestions for modifications of the game based on results. Great reference book to help match a training need with a practice game
