The Baffled Parent's Guide to Coaching Girls' Soccer

Soccer is by far the most popular sport on the planet. And a record number of girls and women are playing soccer worldwide. While Coaching Youth Soccer: A Baffled Parent's Guide has been very successful, the differences between coaching boys and coaching girls are distinct enough to warrant a separate book. With this huge growth in the number of girls playing soccer, there is a need for more and more parents to get involved and volunteer as youth coaches. Some coaches may have no experience, some may have coached boys only, while others may have coached girls for several years but are unsure how to proceed as their players develop.As in other books in the series, Coaching Girls' Soccer is written for the unprepared parent who has unwittingly signed up to coach his or her 6- to 13-year-old child's team.Following the successful formula of the other books in the series, Coaching Girls' Soccer will provide all of the fundamental and necessary information new coaches need to get a season underway and - most importantly - the necessary information to understand the nuances of coaching girls.
