Saying something is the “Best” is a big statement, but I’m convinced that the Coach Doug Method is the best way to teach U-4 and U-6 players to play soccer. If I see a better way, I’ll recommend that, but until that happens, I recommend the Coach Doug Method 100%, and we offer a “no questions asked” money-back guarantee to back up our confidence. Next year I’ll coach my granddaughter in U-4 and I’ll use the Coach Doug Method. It’s perfect and easy – all I have to do is what Coach Doug does – the Coach Doug DVD shows me exactly what to do. It’s fun and self-teaching – the kids learn by playing the games. A Premium Member recently pointed out to me that Coach Doug’s Methods are a “better technology”. I think he’s right. The coaches who use the Coach Doug approach are VERY popular with the parents and the contrast is obvious when a "Coach Doug team" plays one that doesn't use the Coach Doug Method. I heard from Coach Doug last week. He’s in Honduras and has a very popular U-6 soccer league there. Coach Doug’s methods are based on having fun and can turn average kids into excellent players and good athletes into players with amazing skills, field awareness and instincts. That’s the advantage of starting young with his system. We’ve re-organized our Video clips to make them more user friendly. You can watch 7 Video Clips from the Coach Doug DVD. You can watch Video Clips from 5 DVDs and are in the process of adding video clips from 3 more DVDs. Check it out – we have clips you will find interesting. We’re getting really busy here at SoccerHelp. I hope you have some fun this week. David at SoccerHelp Coupons for Premium Members We’ve added coupons especially for Premium Members.
