I ordered this book hoping to get a little more insight on
coaching youth players ( 7 to 12 ). This book was a little to
in depth for younger players. Would be a great book for H.S. or
College coaches and players.

This book covers a lot of territory in a hurry, but is packed with information. The book is divided into sections (offense, defense, etc.), and within each section, covers each position. Unlike Jack Reed or other authors, Bass is teaching technique, not theory or strategy. For example, learn eight ways to block, with a few drills to reinforce each method. I give this book to other coaches as presents.

IF YOU ARE A COACH LOOKING FOR NEW DRILLS FOR YOUR PLAYERS, OR A PARENT WHO IS TRYING TO SHARPEN YOUR KIDS SKILLS, THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU. IT IS FULL OF DIAGRAMS AND DRILLS FOR EACH AREA OF THE TEAM. ESPECIALLY USEFUL ARE THE FOOTWORK DIAGRAMS WHICH ARE EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND TO TEACH. ALSO HELPFUL ARE THE COACHING POINTS THAT ARE GIVEN FOR SELECTED DRILLS. IN CLOSING, THE BOOK DOES NOT GO INTO MUCH DETAIL IN REGARDS TO STRATEGY, BUT IF THE DRILLS ARE FOLLOWED, YOU WILL HAVE TECHNICALLY PROFICIENT PLAYERS WHICH WILL SUIT ANY GAME PLAN YOU CHOOSE.
