Customer Reviews

Cover the ENTIRE field with this resource

This book has it all. Skills, drills, tactics, safety, how to organize the team and deal with parents as well as fitness and psychology goals. This is a professional publication, but written with the average youth coach in mind so there are many practical tips and trick that can be immediately implemented with a team. I'll be using this book for YEARS!

Pretty good on the basics

A good start for a new coach. Covers all aspects but is very general.
