OK for Beginners
By A2TDCULKOHYWJL on 2004-11-17
I will keep this brief because I mostly want to warn people that while this book is stated to be suitable for ages 9-12 that pre-supposes that the readers are beginner soccer players.
My nine year old son, who has played soccer for a few years laughed at the simplicity and found the book not at all useful. This was of course disappointing to me. I relied on the rating, made an assumption that I should not have made and had the book sent to him without having read it.
In summary, a good book for BEGINNERS aged 9-12. Live and learn!
great for the beginning soccer player
By AAXEP1XZ68YJF on 2005-02-23
This is a great book for the beginning soccer player, so let that be around seven years old. My son was able to read by himself at that age and loved the games and the information he found in the book.
Children older than that as stated on the back cover will not profit from the information found in this book.
a GREAT way to kick-off a love of SOCCER.

Attention soccer kids and soccer moms!
Deborah W. Crisfield, author of "Winning Soccer for Girls" and "The Mom's Guide to Sports," has produced this challenging, educational book great for young soccer-players-to-be. This softback included professional instruction on the: RULES of the GAME, TECHNIQUES for DRIBBLING, TRAPPING, and HEADING the BALL, defense, GOALTENDING, DRILLS, TIP on maintaining POSSESSION of the BALL. The book also includes loads of PUZZLES and GAMES to play that relate nicely to DRILLS provided.
The book is easy to read for juvenile readers (8-10 yrs) full of fun graphics, tips, terms and soccer fun facts, and World Cup and American soccer star bios. The Everything Kids' Soccer Book even includes soccer jokes, like:
"Why won't CINDERELLA ever be a great goalkeeper?
BECAUSE she runs away from the BALL
Good for 8-11 year olds
By AQJK9T5BJAX5Y on 2006-04-05
I think this book has a good amount of information in it for kids in the 8 - 11 year old age bracket. They introduce skills and strategies that many novice coaches may not be providing. I wish that some of the skills were illustrated in more detail. For example, just mentioning that you should keep your toe pointed down for an instep kick is not sufficient; it is critical to have the heel locked down. A better illustration would help emphasize points like this. Overall I would very much recommend this book.
Super Book!
