Youth Football Skills & Drills3 reviews
Tom Bass
International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press, 2005
A must for Youth Football coaches
Got the book last week, read it over the week-end. First practice last night with the 8-9 year old team. I had prepared drills for the D-Line as I am D-Line coach.
The defensive coordinator couldn't make it and there were only 11 kids at practice on defense because of vacations.
I improvised with individual and group drills, that I picked up in the book, for 60 minutes. Kept the practice ...

You will know football even though you are not an American
I'm a Chinese girl and never watched any American football games in Hong Kong until I married to an American and moved to United States one and half years ago. He is a football fan and he keeps track his team every day, not to mention especially during the regular season every Sunday.
I started to watch football games with him, and I liked it a lot. Now, I understand why so many American like ...

ESPN's 2008 Fantasy Football Guide2 reviews
Editors of ESPN Magazine
ESPN, 2008
Great Early Season Reference
A good guide to player ratings at the start of the season, you will however have to keep an eye on player movements before your draft as this book was probably written around the time of the NFL draft & lots of players have moved or been cut since.

Football for real dummies
I had originally gotten the book Football for Dummies to prepare for my grandsons' first season playing Pop Warner football. I found that I was too dumb for Football for Dummies. Nowhere was there an explanation as to whether a team's goal line was the goal they were defending or the one they were heading for. Everything else in the book depends on an understanding of this one principle. Nor ...
