Soccer for Moms

by

I am a soccer mom. For over ten years now I’ve been the washer of the uniforms, the maker of the Gatorades and the loyal cheerleader/taxi driver shuffling players to practice, home from practice, to games, home from games. The matches I’ve watched from the sidelines probably number in the thousands. Such immersion in the sport has granted me some degree of understanding of the game, understanding that grew from experience and from asking my husband/coach a thousand questions.

As a quintessential soccer mom, I feel uniquely qualified to review Soccer for Moms, the newest title in Plain White Press’s series “For Moms and Minivan drivers.” In this book, author Kerrie Page offers moms a overview of the basics of the game: rules, terminology, equipment and team structure. With diagrams for you visual learners! Soccer for Moms also covers tournament play and uniform basics as well as common injuries, the all-important game snacks, and the well stocked gear bag. She also features chapters on working with your child’s coach and what to expect in more competitive leagues.

Kerrie knows her stuff. I know. This is information I could have benefited from as a newbie soccer mom. Hey, this is information that benefits me now!

Are you soccer mom? Would you like to hone your soccer expertise? Or maybe you know a soccer mom? Plain White Press has graciously offered TWO copies of Soccer for Moms for us to give away during our Back to School Giveaway! Leave us a comment to be included in the drawing.

  2. Wow, how I could have used this book years ago, but I think it would still be a great read-I am still a soccer mom and never to old to learn new tricks!

    I am sending the link to this to a friend of mine who is coaching a competitive girls team for the first time.

  8. Hi Lisa! Thanks so much for the review. We developed this book for moms like us who wanted to have more fun at the games.

  9. Looks like a great book. I don’t even want to think how many years I’ve “soccer-momed” without it! Thanks for the entry!

  20. I could use this book since my daughter is always asking me about the rules and I never know exactly what is right.

  26. I have two kids in soccer and they are beginners. I loved watching them but really don’t get it – this would be a great book so I could help but not say the wrong thing.

  42. This would be a great gift for some of the soccer moms I know–please add my name! Thank you for the contest!
