    About this ebook

    This book, written by a former professional player and major college coach, gives a complete picture of the fundamentals of soccer – – and how they can best be taught to youth. The skills of soccer are not only described and illustrated with photographs, they are also shown in videos. If you are reading an e-book version of the book, merely click the video to see it. If you are reading the print version, you merely copy the address given in the text into your Internet-connected device.

    The book not only describes and illustrates the skills needed for every level of soccer, but it gives you simple and intermediate drills to learn the skills. It then takes the reader to the team level of play, for both offense and defense.

    Whether you are a youth coach, a parent who is helping his son or daughter to play and to understand the game, or a physical education teacher who is looking for the most effective progression of skills and their use in the game-- this book will be invaluable to you.
