    This could be a precursor to a "wiki" type text that will contain useful posts that have been accumulated over time.

    Please, post up any really useful posts that you've come across during your time on the forum. In the long run, it's too hard to search the forum for all the posts we "remember" as being good. So, if you come across something you think needs to be saved - copy a link to it here, with a quote bubble of the original post. Also, don't be afraid to offer up more than one side to a debated question. In my eyes, there is always more than one correct answer.

    Thanks.

    Here is a forum that I moderate that is dedicated to coaching. The forum is free, though the main site is subscription based.


    The next is the best site I have seen if you are taking your FA Level 2 Badge (roughly equivalent to the USSF D License). Each SSG topic you may be given is broken down with a complete lesson plan.


    And lastly, my season-long session plan for beginning to moderate U9s to U11s for working on communication, first touch, ball movement, which I have posted before. Read posts 12 and 15.

    Having just finished Vision of a Champion I thank whoever started this thread:

    https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34595

    The thread itself is not too interesting but the book certainly is. A must read for anyone coaching girls or parenting girl soccer players.

    I did a search for it and it turns out it was on the first page lol.

    This talks about the coerver method and 1000 touches workout. Basically explains what it is and how to find out more about.

    By Richie: "...I have a friend from New Jersey Dennis Mueller that developed a player handout of coerver moves. It is all over the internet now. I myself give out the hand out to young players http://www.ucs.mun.ca/~dgraham/daily_drill.html
    It is also called 1000 touches and 575 touches...."


    By aek chicago: "...The Coerver method builds the solid core foundation players need in terms of fast footwork, suppleness, close control, feinting, etc..... It is these skills which serve as the base for the technically proficient/advanced player, and assuming the TACTICAL proficiency of competing sides is equal, the more TECHNICALLY PROFICIENT side will win, ALWAYS...."

    A thread on how to start and run a new premier youth club:

    https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=806522

    From Bird1812:

    "This is a really good resource: http://www.mayouthsoccer.org/downloa...ent_manual.pdf
    The best place to start is with a mission statement - see that section in the manual."

    Part of BigGuy's post:

    "I don't really want to talk to parents unless I know they really know
    the game. I will let them know that I care about their kid like if they
    were my own kids. One good rule to have never screw a player to win a
    game. Wear your love of the game on your sleave for everyone to see
    it's contagious to everyone around you.

    Good play praise no matter who does it out loud even the opponent. That
    you can talk to the parents about. Helps them know what good play is.
    Bad play during games take notes and say nothing. if parents praise bad
    play correct them why it was not good play. So the players won't get
    confused talking to their kids at home."

    I thought this was a great response and showed insight as to how both coaches and refs need to approach the game. He's right, it shouldn't be a pissing contest.

    Anyway, I thought it was a great post.
