The Fundamentals of Soccer with Stinky Shoe & Coach LaRoo

Offering an introduction to the fundamentals of soccer for children ages 4-10, this combination live action/animation guide emphasizes teamwork and fair play while illustrating such basics as dribbling, passing, juggling, etc. Real-life coaches and real-life kids demonstrate all the proper techniques while two animated characters (Stinky Shoe and Coach LaRoo) provide the silly humor aimed at young viewers. While Stinky and Coach LaRoo will drive adults batty with their dumb jokes, irritating voices, and actions only loosely connected to the instructional portion of the program, kids will probably love them. With its solid emphasis on having fun and practicing good sportsmanship, this is recommended, overall.
