Trade Review"I highly recommend Jim Garland's collection of activities to any coach working with U5 to U12.
Jim offers excellent technical training ideas and expands into game progressions as well as ideas on space and movement. The 100 activities will challenge coaches and players alike and provide for lots of fun too."
