I really enjoyed it. Although I'm not a coach, I am really wanting to join the world of Derby, I accidentally purchased this book and decided that what the heck, might as well read it.

I got this book to help me create coaching ideas for derby! It seems to be intended for a league with a lot more structure, and not a brand-new league. But all information was helpful anyway!
