About Our Books
The Concept
The idea for Print & Go soccer practices and PracticeBuilder came from a recognition that something was missing for soccer coaches amongst all the training materials and resources available.
No doubt you have heard that a coach must have a practice plan when going to run a soccer practice. If you are like most coaches, you probably have books and videos full of soccer drills and practice ideas. If you are like most coaches, you also rush from work to the field desperately trying to write a practice plan in your head (hopefully not on paper while driving) based on soccer drills you remember, organizing and visualizing those drills and things to say. Maybe you even brought some soccer books or photocopies of soccer drills with you. Maybe you even roughed out a practice plan the night before on a piece of paper. No matter what, you either spent significant time researching and writing or significant time scrambling.
What about the next soccer practice? What about a season plan? What about the team’s needs and focus? Fitness training: yes or no? During soccer practice or separate sessions? Scrimmages? Soccer speed and mental training? Where are the soccer specific drills for that? How about flexibility? Any difference between age groups?
To help you focus your time on deciding what is important for your team to work on we thought it would be a good idea to do the research on soccer drills and the writing of the soccer practice plans for you. So we have developed a set of 10 complete practice sessions based on 80 drills, worked out for you and all you need to do is read them, perhaps visualize them, put them on your clipboard and run a very effective and fun practice.
There is also a tool to develop hundreds of additional practice sessions using combinations of the soccer drills provided. All you need to do is to decide on a focus for the season and a theme for each practice.
The printed material is supplemented by pictures of soccer specific stretches and soccer moves and by the soccer tips published on our web site www.soccerpracticebooks.com
The Product
What you get are soccer e-books that have 70 pages.
We have a book for kids soccer (4-9) and youth soccer (10-13), both ideally suited for rookie coaches.
Our competitive book is suited for experienced coaches and coaching in a competitive environment.
Our indoor soccer book is for those who need to practice inside during inclement weather and incorporates soccer skills as well as fun and fitness into the drills and practice sessions.
Each soccer practice book has 10 completely worked out practice plans with 80 drills, each following the sequence of warm-up, technical (skill) drill, fitness drill, tactical drill and scrimmage. There are instructions as to how you might want to sequence the practices based on your season and team need. Then each of the soccer drills for each of the practices is on its own page that fits on a clipboard and has room for notes. The point for having each drill on a separate page is a tool for you to be able to create your own practice sessions from the 50 drill pages (80 soccer drills) available. So if you wanted to run a practice involving more passing, use drills with passing themes. If you wanted to sequence warm-up-technical-technical-tactical-scrimmage, put those together, etc. To help you, there is a summary page outlining the main focus of each of the soccer.
Examples of soccer drills found in the books: passing, receiving, ball control drills, header drills, 1v1 attacking drills, odd-man attacking, odd-man defending, fast break, flank attack, shooting drills, change of direction drills, dribbling, anticipation drills, soccer speed, reaction drills, overlap passing, cut-backs, passing-shooting combination drills, dribbling-shooting combination drills soccer agility drills, defending more than one soccer goal, running drills, pass-turn-pass, pass-turn-shoot, faking defenders, transition play drills, 1 v 1 to 8 v 8 scrimmages

Our Soccer Coaching Philosophy
Soccer practices need to be fun for players and coaches. Soccer drills must be interesting and vary across soccer skills, tactics, strategies, mental and physical fitness and team building.
Soccer players need to be busy with a ball at all times to maximize the number of touches they get with the ball.
Check a soccer drill technical drill
Soccer practices must flow and time must not be wasted by the coach setting up or thinking about drills.
Check a soccer practice practice plan
Soccer practices and soccer drills must have a purpose.
All our soccer drills are designed to be conducted on ½ field, but most can be expanded to full field if space is available. This would be particularly true for full field scrimmages.
