Overall the book is pretty good. It has some great advice concerning practice planning and organization plus a lot of good drills. It covers all the areas I think should be covered when developing a program.

Rating: - Very thorough
Everything in this book is good, solid information. I would have liked to have seen a few more, "out of the box" ideas, but for coaches or athletic directors, this book would be a useful resource.
Rating:  - Great Book!!!!
This book is possibly one of the best youth football books out there. It is geared toward youth football but at the sametime is in depth. Where as a typical youth football book is extremely vanilla and extremely basic this book has in depth X's and O's but at the sametime can still be applied at the youth level.It also has detailed explanation of how to play each positon along with drills. This is a must buy.
Rating: - Proven system
This book contains principals and drills that can be applied to any level program. This book was in a coaching manual form and was distributed for a Football Program in my area.

I used the manual and now have read the book. Coaches new and old will find things that are encouraging and useful. The book ... Read More
