Paul RobinsonThe Soccer Sessions Book: 87 Prepared Practice Sessions for Coaching Youth Players

I've been coaching for a long time and in that time purchased 100s of coaching books and manuals most of them massively disappointing but this is brilliant I won't spoilt but if your a coach it's a brilliant purchase

Got this book to use with the youth football team I coach. Every youth coach should own this book. It is so useful! The tips have been helpful and the players love these sessions. Highly recommend!

This book is an excellent resource for coaches of all age groups. Full of session plans and games for all aspects of development!👌👍

The book is simple, concise and really effective as a coach. It is invaluable. It reduces preparation time and improves the effectiveness of coaching sessions.

I generally don't write reviews but this book deserves more attention. After years of struggling to find drills and activities to put together, this book is amazing at presenting coherent practice sessions -- a solid 60-90 minutes of activity at your fingertips. This saves a lot of ton and thinking, because the activities are coordinated toward a common goal and have a logical progression from one to the next -- that was something I struggled with when picking activities on my own.I coach rec league third graders and many of the session are a little too advanced. I find that I often need to simplify the activities somewhat and/or combine activities from different sessions. I also wish the book had a skill level associated with each session -- I would really benefit from selecting just the "beginner" sessions. Instead, I need to read each session in detail to figure out if it will work for my team.Still, this is a really valuable tool that has not only saved me time and headaches but is also showing some real gains for my team. Highly recommended!

This is an amazingly comprehensive book about how to train a youth soccer team. It should be in the library of every coach, whether in a country where they call the sport football or in those where it is called soccer. Robinson coaches youth teams in northeast England and writes from long experience.
