BETTER SOCCER MORE FUN
This is a must see site for u-10 and up. Excellent and concise reporting of the "Dutch School" of thought. Focus on drills which present the players with "soccer problems" to solve. Believes technique isolated from the context of the game is just tricks.

FINE SOCCER.com
Lawrence Fine's site. Has collection of articles on soccer topics as well as drills. Has a very balanced and appropriate approach to youth soccer philosophy as well as some insightful drills.

FUNDAMENTAL SOCCER
This is Karl Dewazien's site. Has a pay component and also sells several books and videos he has produced. One of the very best on how to approach coaching children. He has a very specific practice format, which you may or may not wish to implement.

KIDS FIRST SOCCER
A nice site looking at how to relate appropriately to kids.

STRONG SOCCER
Has an excellent library of video clips showing what specific moves should look like. Has several links to other sites. Decatur Sports will drown you in information.

US Youth Soccer
This site is where you can join the "Coaches Connection" and get a discount on Success in Soccer magazine as well as monthly complete lesson plans for different age kids. It is the official USYSA site and as such carries soccer news items as well as coaching ideas.

WORLD OF SOCCER
Another must see site. Greater emphasis on younger aged players. Very well organized and easily understood.

YOUTH SOCCER COACH
George Lasher's site. Well laid out. Many drills well explained and drawn out. Probably u-10 and up.
