As a former youth football coach (I've coached from 3rd grade up thru Junior High) I can honestly say that this book has served me well as a practice-drill resource. Enough drills for every position to keep practice sessions fresh and plenty of practical techniques for targeting specific areas that might need improvement within your team. Drills are well-explained and step-by-step tactics are discussed such that even an inexperienced coach will quickly comprehend and be able to explain to their team the intent of the drill. Every new coach should have this on their shelf. - Savage

Excellent Football book. If a Coach wanted to keep just one book going to practices, this would be it. Very good variations of drills for all positions. HC Coach Dom Montreal, QC Canada

I have lots of drill books on my shelves, but this book actually gives coaching pointers for each drill. It tells you what you ought to tell the kids during the drill. This aspect of the book has been invaluable to my assistant coaches and to many of our feeder coaches in junior high, even the Pop Warner League. It not only shares an absolute wealth of drills, it emphasizes the necessary fundamentals for each player. I really think this is the best drill book on the market.
