This Coaching Manual was a collective work created as a labor of love, and as a gift to the soccer community, by three groups of dedicated coaches. Most of the drafting work was done by a core group of coaches who have worked with the target age groups, and was supplemented by articles from other contributors who lacked the time to fully participate in the full project. In addition, a third group of coaches assisted in the editing of the Manual and/or acted as advisors for the final product.
We would like to acknowledge each of the members of these groups for their able advice, hard work and cooperation in putting together this Coaching Manual.
Particular thanks go to:
