This booklet describes soccer myths, and also the important soccer strategies. This booklet was born out of frustration. It is written for the parent/coach of youth and high school soccer. I started playing soccer when I was a freshman in college. After four years, I was appointed captain/coach for the junior varsity team, and also for the soccer club. We did not drill. We simply scrimmaged every day from 4:00-6:00 p.m. Since I started playing late in life, and I lacked a lot of ball handling skills, so I tried to make up for it by playing smart. In the last forty years I have played on many teams, hundreds of pick-up games, and I have coached my own kids (all six of my kids have played on various soccer teams). I have been frustrated by what I have seen done and by what I have seen coaches teaching the young players. I am trying to instruct the players and the coaches on how to play soccer and have fun at the same time.
