Synopsis

Coaching Kids' Football is the definitive, one-stop handbook for coaches, teachers and parents to organising, running and managing children's football, covering topics such as child protection and safety, mental and physical development, codes of conduct, sample coaching sessions, psychology and nutrition. The emphasis is on safety, fun and natural development for everyone, whatever their ability, rather than producing superstars, and the book aims to show anyone involved with youth soccer how to carry out the correct coaching relative to age in a fun, safe and enjoyable atmosphere. The majority of youth football in the UK is organised by parents, teachers and adults with a love of the game, but many of them have no relevant qualifications or training - this book will tell them everything they need to know.

Book Overview: The only one-stop guide to this subject on the market - other books cover one or two aspects of youth soccer coaching, but this is the only one to bring everything together. Child protection and safety is a growing area of concern in football - the FA has recently developed the GOAL programme to tackle the issue, and has also made it mandatory for someone at every club in the country to have responsibility for child protection. Child protection is also a mandatory element of all the FA's coaching, medical education and referee courses - this book would be an invaluable resource. Highly practical, containing case studies, sample documents and forms, easy-to-use checklists and so on. Author is a professional football coach who has good contacts within the FA and the NSPCC.
