Welcome to the first online edition of Sport IQ soccer. The practices
selected in each issue have been created by experienced and highly qualified
soccer coaches from the United Kingdom. If you are a coach, PE teacher, primary
school teacher or player then this magazine is for you!
Our philosophy of soccer coaching is simple; it must be fun, active and develop
players who think about the game.
We believe that sharing ideas is important to developing intelligent soccer players
so this magazine is free, why not email it on to anyone who you think would use it
and enjoy it.
Each issue of the magazine will take an aspect of soccer and provide ideas from
coaching six year olds through to adult teams.
Although the 11-a-side game still dominates we feel that there is much to be
learnt from other sports and other forms of football, so take a look at our regular
features on street soccer, freestyle soccer, beach soccer and futsal.
The drills/ideas/games in this issue have been showcased using GamePlanner
Soccer software which helps you to plan, demonstrate and save all your coaching
ideas. To download any plans in this issue go to www.gameplanner.co.uk
We hope you enjoy our first issue, please send your comments
