Clear and Concise - By: T Asprilla, 28 May 2007 
I like Malcolm Cook's books, they are broken into clearly defined chapters, each one dealing with a specific technique. Each drill is drawn clearly & is easy to understand. He also details the equipment needed & gives each drill a progression of some kind. He doesn't list the key factors for each drill & what should be coached. This might be obvious to some coaches but not to all & especially new coaches some time on breaking each key technique down might have been useful as well.
Overall though a good book, if you work with the stated age group, regardless of your experience, pick up a copy.
Good ideas but doesn't carry them through - By: Alan Moodie, 05 Dec 2006 I've been coaching for a while & 101 drills sounded great, but it fails to live up to my expectations. What you get is exactly what the book says you get 101 drills. They are well laid out & the descriptions explain how to set up & the equpiment required. The one complaint I have is the progressions, when you put a session together you usually have a main theme, like passing, so your drills need to progressin complexity through the theme. The progressionsin the book look like an after thought & haven't been developed.
Overall the book is fine & is similar to "Soccer Practice Games" by Luxbacher.
101 Youth Soccer Drills age 7-11 - By: C. M. Sparks, 23 Nov 2006 
A practical guide for any coach. I have used it to plan coaching sessions for under 9's, picking out drills most suited to correcting behaviours displayedin live games. Alternatively, you could use it to plan a whole season of coaching sessions.
A 'must have' if you coach youngsters. Glad I bought it & so are my team!
My coaching bible! - By: , 04 Mar 2006 This guide is fantastic! I use it with an under 11's & under 10's team. The drills are really easy to understand, with clear diagrams being used throughout. It covers most aspects of football (not defending though!)and the kids I've done the drills with have really enjoyed doing them. I would definitely recommend this to experienced & inexperienced coaches.
