The Fundamentals of Soccer with Stinky Shoe & Coach LaRoo

Rating:
Summary: Coaching parts good, animation just okay.
Review: This instructional DVD/Tape works well at its primary purpose - to teach some fundamentals of soccer. The animations/cartoon part with Stinky Shoe and the coach are average at best and just plain stupid at worst (they probably account for 10-15% of the tape). My 7 yr old son even commented on how inane the animated parts were. This tape is best for a VERY young audience -say 6 yrs old and under.

Summary: Must see for parents and kids.
Review: This production brings it all home; rules, methods of playing and the importance of teamwork. The use of animated characters keeps the kids interested and the coaching fits right in. My kids really liked watching people like themselves learning for the first time. It just made the first trip to the practice a lot better than it could have been. I learned a lot about the rules of the game, so it has helped me to answer questions that my kids ask. There's nothing else like it available and I really recommend it.
