Good information for new coaches of younger players. Lots of aspects addressed, with suggestions for everything. Even though I don't intend on using all of the suggestions, the topics helped to insure I didn't overlook any key areas and think about ways to best address those areas in my environment. (Never played soccer, never coached youth sports, former youth sport participant).
