Soccer Practice Games/120 Games for Technique, Training, and Tactics

Summary: Keeps the players moving.
Review: 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 daughter's 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. They're having so much fun playing these "games" the girls don't realize the good, solid, soccer skills and techniques they're developing.

Summary: Every youth coach MUST own this book.
Review: 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.

Summary: Luxbacher's the Best!
Review: I've read all of Luxbacher's soccer books. Judging by how he writes, he's one of the best youth coaches in America. I've incorporated many of Luxbacher's drills and small-sided games into my sons' teams' practices. Luxbacher and publisher Human Kinetics are the best in America!

Summary: Fun Training Games
Review: 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.

Summary: Great ideas for a coach who does not have any
Review: 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.

Summary: Great book for new coaches!
Review: 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!!
