My son and I have watched sections together and he really learns from it. I will warn you that most people think it is a "short" dvd to learn quickly. It shows young players around 10 all the way up to the pro level. We like it because it shows all levels working with the coach. However, if you are a parent, or coach that wants to TEACH the skills, it is by far the best on the market. It is NOT a coaching DVD series so if that is what you are looking for I would not suggest it. It is by far the best series on the market for learning true technical form and skills. We also allow parents to check it out as well. I don't know if they are as comprehensive in scope as the Soccer U materials.Ĭlick to expand.Yes, I own the series and our club uses the series for coaches training. The stuff I have seen dealt with ball skills in depth. Their materials are kind of the benchmark for judging coaching videos. If I had it to do over I would learn the Coerver method of coaching. In the past (1980's and early 90's) I focused on technical training I thought, but my regret is that I did not focus on it even more so with the kids. It would be worth buying it for me, but I can't say about you.Īs to your focus on technical training, I share your view. I picked up a couple of ideas just from watching the first preview. If the previews are an indication, I liked the quality of the videos and the content.

In other words covered all skills rather than just dribbling or just moves. It appeared to me that the tapes were more comprehensive than detailed. In the past I had to deal with written discriptions of technique, and video demonstrations were more preferable. (You have higher level experience than I do, but I took a look anyway.) I am not sure what you are looking for with "very detailed technical instructions." From the preview, it appeared to be taped demonstrations rather than a written description of techniques.
