Parents' soccer guide

June 9, 1999

A sports-loving american mom and an English-born soccer coach effectively bring two perspectives to the training of young soccer players in "Goal! The Ultimate Guide for Soccer Moms and Dads" (Rodale Press, $15.95). Gloria Averbuch shares ideas on organizing equipment and keeping things in perspective. Ashley Michael Hammond imparts plenty of tips on individual skills, but little in the way of practice or game strategy. Nonetheless, this well-organized book covers a lot of ground.
