Coaching elementary kids at soccer is a little more complicated than coaching preschoolers, but with the approach detailed in this book, any caring adult can do it well. Building on the approach in his popular "Coaching Little Kid Soccer," Coach Bryan Gilmer sets out his step-by-step method for leading teams of kindergarten through third-grade soccer players in a volume slim enough to be read in a single sitting but with enough ideas to keep your team growing at its own pace over several soccer seasons. Coach Bryan takes you step by step through running practices and managing games, all with an emphasis on age-appropriate activities and strategies that keep children continuously engaged and cooperative- -- and help them win.

The focus on helping each player make sound decisions in every role on the team helps children develop as well-rounded players and achieve success now. And the concepts they learn will continue to serve them well if they choose to advance to higher levels of soccer. Coach Bryan's sensitivity to the developmental abilities and needs of this age group sets this guide apart from the dozens of other general youth soccer coaching guides. You'll learn how to manage behavior, injuries, and frustration and to encourage resiliency, positive perseverence, cooperation, sportsmanship, and a healthy lifelong love of exercise.
