Coaching Youth Soccer: A Baffled Parents Guide

Written by soccer great and championship Stanford coach Bobby Clark, COACHING YOUTH SOCCER: THE BAFFLED PARENTS GUIDE shows how an uninitiated coach can mold a group of kids into a team.

Being part of a team will be one of the most rewarding experiences of their youth. 

But in the end, it will be you who reaps the biggest reward, as you watch your players learn and grow.

  • Coaching Youth Soccer helps organize your practices and provides ideas for drills that will keep your team interested throughout the entire season. 
  • You’ll soon be getting compliments from parents because their kids enjoy the variety of “games”  they play in practice so much.
  • Coaching Youth Soccer gets you reflecting on the sense of responsility and achievement that building a team brings.

What is better: the Dutch style of youth soccer coaching or the American style?

With all due respect, I think the Dutch System wins hands down.

From Johan Cruyff and the Clockwork Orange of the seventies right up to the present day, Dutch football has produced some great players and teams.

does anyone know of any good youth soccer coaching videos that show actual training sessions…?

in all the videos i’ve seen, i see drills, but all the kids look like professionals and it never shows them messing up, or how to fix mess ups. here’s what i’m looking for in a coaching video: #1 shows actual training sessions from beginning to end. #2 uses youth recreational players so i can see how to teach them. #3 shows coaching points…how to fix what they’re doing wrong.

A: Difficult Question. Obviously most companies produce ‘professional’ videos so everything looks professional – remember they’re still just kids doing their best. Anyway, I recommend SoccerU or try reading Coaching Youth Soccer: The Baffled Parents Guide - it’s excellent!.
