Nice collection of drills, but be aware that there are many which require over 10 to perform. I couldn't really use it for my small-sided team which had a maximum of 10 players.

Simple, yet effective with illustrations for quick understanding.

This is a good book of drills for a youth soccer coach to have on hand when creating practice plans. They have many games and drills for individual practice, partners, and large groups to work on movement, dribbling, passing, receiving, heading, and shooting.
This book won't teach you a thing about how to be a coach, but it will help you run an efficient practice.

This book offers a lot of great tips and ideas for the beginning soccer coach! Lots of coaches are lost for informative and visual content to help them in their first years. This book offers great diagrams and insight to each activity, and helps show how the progression will work for each player or team.

Some good training skills here. A few I have never heard of and can't wait to try out on my daughter's team in the fall.
