Reader Reviews
This is the best soccer guide I've found yet! It begins with basics (rules, positions, equipment) that really helped this soccer dummy feel at ease with the game. It progresses through the fundamentals to excellent instruction on preparing and coaching, and includes additional information that will make the game more enjoyable to watch as well. The 28 chapters and two appendices are well organized into seven sections: Getting Started, Fundamentals of the Game, Calling All Soccer Moms and Dads, A Spectator's Guide, From Saturday Soccer to the World Stage, The Part of Tens (which includes several soccer "top ten" lists that help you "talk the talk"), and Appendices (a glossary and a list of soccer associations). The book is well illustrated with all the photos and diagrams needed to learn to perform those essential, parental soccer duties. It also includes useful annotations of tips and warnings (injury prevention, player's tips, etc.) you need to know. The 16-page index allows this book to be useful as a field guide as well. As a soccer-challenged father with four daughters, I love this book. It is helping turn what was a chore into quality time with my girls.
