• Soccer-Coach-L Mailing List   - Perhaps your best and most comprehensive resource on the net is the "Soccer-Coach-L" mailing list and the best part is you only need e-mail as opposed to full web-browsing access. The list is currently comprised of some 1,150 coaches from the youth, high school, college and professional ranks from over 20 countries. Questions ranging from "How do I deal with Osgood-Schlatters?" to "What kind of activities will help my U-14 boys work the ball out of the back third effectively?" to "How do I keep my U-8 Dark Avengers from swarming around the ball?" appear on a daily basis. All questions are answered, usually from multiple viewpoints, and advice on whatever YOUR particular problem is is cheerily dispensed by other list members. Be aware that the list is relatively high volume (30-40 messages a day) and that the current "collective thinking" of the group is along the lines that "the game is the greatest teacher".
  To subscribe, send an email with no subject; body reading "SUBSCRIBE SOCCER-COACH-L" (without the quotations, with the hyphens) followed by a blank space and then your own name (e.g. subscribe Soccer-Coach-L ron tremper) to listserv@morgan.ucs.mun.ca.
  After you're subscribed, you should probably send the listserv the "set Soccer-Coach-L digest" (no quotations) command which will gather up a day's worth of mail at a time and give it to you in a single, scrollable message once a day.
