Read About Coach Doug's Site for U4 & U6 Coaches

"Our regional director says I'm the most requested coach she's ever seen. SoccerHelp is the reason!!! Every practice game, etc. came from SoccerHelp....WELL DONE!" Coach Mark, Michigan, Premium member

"The Practice Games are AMAZINGLY EFFECTIVE!! Parents tell me that their girls cannot wait to go to practice." Coach M.J., Premium member

"At every practice we religiously do Dribble Across a Square, Dribble Around A Cone and Pass, etc, etc, - the poise my boys have on the ball is leaps and bounds above other teams now." Coach T, U12 Boys travel team, MA, Premium subscriber

"My U12 girls won the end of year tournament. The main thing I saw in my girls was a huge increase in their confidence while playing. Some of that was better skills, but more important was being used to playing under pressure and in chaotic conditions due to the Soccer Help practice games." Philip, U12, WA, Premium Member

"In my first season ever as a coach, we have gone 7-1-1 thanks to SoccerHelp Premium, and have beaten the toughest team in our division twice despite their coach having coached most of his girls for 5 years." Coach Michael, Arizona

"I have learned more in the two weeks since subscribing to Premium than I learned in seven years of coaching. I searched the web long and tediously before signing up." Coach Rion, SC

"My daughter is averaging 2-3 goals per game. It's been awesome watching her turn into a great player just by religiously doing SoccerHelp drills." Derik, KS, U10, Premium subscriber for 3 years

"I would personally like to thank soccerhelp.com for the amazing fundamentals that my oldest daughter and her teammates have been taught and how to correctly play soccer. I played for years myself from the age of 4-20 years old but I was NOT a coach. So I had no clue how to begin coaching. 5 of those girls (my daughter included) are Freshmen starting on their VARSITY high school soccer team, while 3 others play on the varsity squad as freshmen or sophomores. My daughter is the starting CMF." Aaron, OH, Premium subscriber for 6 years

"Our now U15-G Ann Arbor United Pumas went from being cellar dwellers to competitive against older and higher-level teams. One highlight was beating a high school team coached by a former English Premier League player!" Nick, MI, Premium Member
