      Of all the valuable information in this guide for youth-football coachesand there is lots of itthe most valuable may be a chart included in the front matter. Drill Finder serves as a checklist for keeping track of which drills are appropriate for which age ranges and which positions. The right-most column lists the page number where the drill is described, hence its placement with the front matter. The authors clearly illustrate each basic element of football, with many photographs and diagrams to help convey the information at hand. Besides covering practices and drills, the book also addresses the coachs role at game time, how to interact with parents and referees, and how to manage time, both game time and pregame time. Each chapter ends with a Coachs Clipboard, summarizing the points made in that chapter. Handy sidebars and checklists are scattered throughout. Recommended reading for both novice coaches as well as those with some experience.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2010, American Library Association.)
