Let Me Play, Coach!: Drills for Developing Players

By Coach Joao da Costa

This is the forth book in the series of Books I have written

aimed at providing Coaches drills to improve their offense,

defense and team fundamentals.

These drills are unique; I created them out of my desire to

see my practice time spent not only challenging my players

to push themselves hard but to get them prepared and

confident with real game situations.

These drills will help your players be more creative and

visualize situations during the game.

These drills will bring excitement as well as challenge them

technically and physically.

As the players become strong, smart and confi dent, they

wont be sitting on the bench begging, Let Me Play,

Coach! The will be in the game scoring and performing

beyond even their own expectations.
