Book Overview

Learning to play soccer has never been more effective--or more fun--than with Soccer Fundamentals . Students will enjoy using this resource because they will learn by doing and spend less time reading and more time engaged in playing the game. With simple instructions and accompanying photographs you'll find it easy to teach them to play soccer quickly and simply. Soccer Fundamentals devotes separate chapters to mastering specific skills like dribbling, juggling, passing, trapping, executing throw-ins, heading, performing tricks and turns, shooting, and volleying. Sections on offensive and defensive tactics, scoring systems, goalkeeping, dead ball kicks, strategy, and sportsmanship make soccer as easy for you to teach as it is for your students to learn. Each chapter addresses a specific skill, leading the student through a simple, four-step sequence: -You Can Do It: The skill is introduced with sequential instructions and accompanying photographs. -More to Choose and Use: Variations and extensions of the primary skill are covered. -Take It to the Field: Readers learn how to apply the skill to competitive situations. -Give It a Go: This provides direct experiences--such as drills, small-sided games, and self-tests--for gauging, developing, and honing the skill. Writer Danny Mielke is a veteran instructor and coach with extensive knowledge of soccer. Mielke knows how to communicate clearly and succinctly, making reading and applying the content to the field enjoyable for students of all ages. As part of the Sports Fundamentals Series, Soccer Fundamentals will help you teach--and your students learn--the basic skills and tactics of the game so that they can compete on the field in no time at all.

good book for beginners and experts alike

i bought this book for my wife after she came back from a trip to argentina and became fascinated with the game of soccer. i grew up playing and am familiar with all the basic skills necessary to play competitive soccer, but after reading this book, she was able to better understand the skills i tried to teach her when we played together. helpful illustrations and easy reading. highly recommend.

Easy, to the point...

Looking to become a Soccer coach but aren't sure of the rules, and how to teach the game? Look no further...a very simple guide to basic rules, and drills that will develop players. It's straight forward, easy to read, and has plenty of diagrams to support the text. High quality book for the price...can't go wrong.
