Book Reviews of Soccer Practice Games - 2nd Edition
Book Review: Great for dads who need soccer practice help
Summary: 5 Stars
Great ideas to teach skills and give someone who has never played soccer some ideas for practices. This book is working great for our team.Book Review: One of the better tools for coaches of pre High School players
Summary: 4 Stars
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 can't "score' and earn points "goals" then they are of more limited use and are really drills not games. The book has both.Book Review: So Good I Accidentally Bought It Twice
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally bought the Second Edition here is the original review I gave for that one - then the rest of the story after:
Excellent Book for Coaches of U12 and Younger
This book is a mix of some of the more traditional, well known soccer drills/games and some more unusual one. The best part about this collection of exercises is that most of them are designed to be fun, so the kids will actually enjoy doing them.
Other coaches will look at you strangely for some of the games in this book. That is, until they see how good your team is.
I say that from experience. I incorporated the leapfrog exercise into our warm-ups, and people thought I was crazy, but the team was developing their strength and balance, and the kids loved it!
If I could only pick one book of activities to use during practices, this would be my choice.

As I have continued coaching, I have become a fan of Joseph Luxbacher's work. His book Steps to Soccer Success is excellent as well. While this book is about practice games, Steps to Soccer Success is more about technical skills and correct form.
So when I saw this book, I decided I wanted it, without realizing that I already owned the book (you'd be amazed at all the soccer books I own).
Anyway, the 3rd Edition is definitely better than the 2nd Edition in that there are 50 more games and the graphics are much better.
