Great break down of the game.
This book is a great break down of the game! I love the way it explains offense, defense and goalie positions. They explain different positions, different strategies and different skills. This would be a good read for coaches and parents alike. The kids will love the inserts of the famous players and learn a lot from the drills that are scattered throughout the book. I also liked the section for parents to help you understand how to be the best and most supportive fan for your little one! I received this book for free in exchange for this unbiased review.

Meh...
This book was purchased for our 10 y/o soccer player. He plays the goalie position and this book did not address any skill for that position.
