About the Author:

Peter Gripton's adult involvement with soccer came about from his son's interest as an eight-year-old. With no credentials he was gently pushed into the running of a junior soccer side. Now - seven seasons later- he has thoroughly researched junior team coaching and tactics, and has produced a number of successful sides. Resident - Sutton on the Forest, York
