Championship Soccer Drills

Aimed at both parents and coaches, Championship Soccer Drills hopes to make soccer practice sessions more stimulating and fun, with more drills and routines than you can shake a leg at. Under the direction of soccer champ and coach Bart Jansen, a group of crack soccer youngsters demonstrate drills meant to enhance individual and team skills in the areas of ball handling, dribbling, chipping (just like golf--short, high-arching shots), and passing. Also covered are “heading” techniques (yes, that's bouncing the ball off the ol' noggin), as well as one-on-one drills, and “back moves” (fancy and strategic ball control techniques). A virtual book-of-drills on video that will be a boon for the target audience (coaches and parents) looking for new ideas to sharpen kids' skills, this is definitely recommended. Aud: J, H, P. (C.
