| TopLeague Animated Football Coaching |
This is an excellent site for Coaches, Players, or even Parents. A range of animations is available, for many topics. The animations take a moment to load but it is well worth it. Some of the areas covered are Passing Exercises, Small Team Games, Turns 'n Dribbles, Free Kick Exercises, Football (soccer) History and Shooting Exercises. The drills cater for a wide variety of needs starting from the very basics such as The Stop Turn, through easy passing exercises such as Slow Quick Slow, on to more competent passing drills such as The Circle Pass and up to more difficult exercises for the more advanced players such as The Give 'n Go Boxes, The M and W Odd and The Column One Two Full. Each drill/exercise gives background information with the animation adding a visual aspect that really helps to define and follow the instructions. |

An AWESOME site if you are a soccer referee or, for that matter, anyone that plays or loves soccer. Start by learning what offside means, then try out the interactive PowerPoint page to demonstrate offside. Find out who invented the red and yellow cards, learn how to use body language, your whistle and the flags. Get tips for controlling players and situations, review the referee signs and quiz yourself on the rules of the game. Be sure to explore on your own, there is lots more on this site.

Very complete Web Site that concentrates on a European style called "Dutch Vision" which covers almost all soccer issues imaginable. According to the sources given in this page, (which are lectures, coaching sessions, informal talks, critiques and handouts among others) this site intends to introduce this European style to the Americas. I recommend the children's section of the page. |
