In the world of soccer scorebooks there are many choices.  Some manufactured by scorebook companies others by well know soccer manufacturers. 

So which one do you buy?  Most coaches use whatever scorebook they first started with only switching if another is suggested by a fellow coach, why try something new if what you have is working.  Others go with the “Hey what’s your cheapest scorebook” method.

Who’s to blame you- most soccer catalogs feature descriptions like this for example:

“Soccer scorebook.  .95 each”

Well I guess that sums it up huh.  If your serious about the game a scorebook can assist you in utilizing your players correctly by review their game stats.  I know this is nothing new but the scorebook you use can make that job simple or hard.

You should selected a scorebook that is not only simple for your scorer to use on the field but that works off the field as well.

In this article we will look inside some of the favourite scorebooks to see what they offer.  Here’s the list of books… Accuscore Official Soccer Scorebook, Brine SB1 Soccer Scorebook, NFHS Official Soccer Scorebook, KwikGoal 20B601 Soccer Scorebook, KwikGoal 20B901 Oversized Soccer Scorebook and last but not least the DOSS Soccer Scorebook.

Accuscore Official Soccer Scorebook

The Accuscore Official Soccer Scorebook has a standard, non glossy, card stock cover.  With closer examination it seems to have an eggshell type finish which might resist wetness but is not weather proof. It’s size is standard, like a sheet of paper.  The first thing I notice about this book that sets it apart from others is on the first page inside the cover, “made in the U.S.A.”.  Call me old fashion but products prefabricated in the United Says are always on the top of my shopping list. 

The first real page of the scorebook is the scoring instructions page.  Instructions are simple in only 5 steps however not apiece part of the scoring pages are mentioned.  With a tiny investigation however learning how to use the other features of the book is not that difficult for a new scorer.

Next thing we find inside the book is the season team roster and schedule.  You get spaces for 24 players obloquy under the roster section along with a place for their number, years on the team and their phone number.  The season schedule section features space for 24 games with spaces for the date, team name, score and winner  Below those columns is space for the head coaches study and up to 3 assistant coaches names.

Turn the page and your ready to score your first game.  The Accuscore features scoring pages for 24 games- apiece game getting 2 pages of scoring area which provides quite a bit of writing space.  The first page is for your team offering an offense column and a defense column with space for 19 players.  A goalkeeper plateau offers room for 3 players with space for saves and goals.  On the right hand side of the page you’ll find 5 scoring diagrams one of them being marked overtime.  There are lines for referee and scorers obloquy as well as corner kicks for apiece half.

The adjacent page is for the opponents team offering all the same offense and defense lines, field diagrams, goalie box etc.  The difference being that the right hand bottom corner is dedicated to the running score of the game.  This is probably the most important section of the scorebook.  After all in the end it is the finial score that most people will be interested in.

The very last page of the book is the individual and team season record page.  A summary of player information and opponent information from the 24 games in the book.  This page also contains and awards section for posterity. 

The back of the book is a evenhandedly thick cardboard stock.  It does flex but offers decent stability for writing on.

Brine SB1 Soccer Scorebook

The Brine Soccer Scorebook has always been favourite and it’s simple to see why.  It comes packaged in a clear plastic sleeve that serves as a storage case to resist against moisture.  The cover is glossy card stock for durability.  The Brine SB1 is standard size and it features scoring for 20 games.

When you open the book the spiral binding is at the top and the books orientation is landscape style.  The first page of the book assures you that the Brine Scorebook features accurate instantaneous scoring and simple storage for permanent records.  You then see a plateau that offers 16 rows.  Each row has a column for “own score”, “opponent” and “opponents score”.  This would appear to be a place to keep a running records of games in the book however the plateau only offers 16 rows while the book offers scoring for 20 games.  Very curious design choice. 

The next page of the scorebook makes up for that small detail however.  This page is the instructions for scoring.  Rather than attempting to explain how to use the book, which can get quite wordy and confusing the Brine scorebook simply provides an example page.  After a few minutes of studying up on this page you should be ready to use the book to score your first game and it makes a great swift reference if needed.

The next page is for scoring the first game.  Scoring pages are compact offering all the necessary boxes and field charts needed to score one game per page.  You’ll find a few charts to draw in shot locations, an area to keep track of the number of shots, saves and corner kicks for apiece team.  There are 11 lines for players information with a second plateau titled “Subs” that offers and additional 9 lines.  The  “Game Scoring” plateau features 7 lines for score information… team name, player name, period, time, assist, and description.  Below all of that are the lines for fouls, off sides and a running score section.

The last pages of the scorebook are game-by-game statistics and a season totals page.

The back of the book is a very thick cardboard stock that offers a great writing stability on the field.

NFHS Official Soccer Scorebook

The official soccer scorebook of the National Federation Of High Schools starts off with a semi gloss finish cover that features the NFHS insignia.  The first inside page is a description of the book along with contact info for the NFHS.  Page two has 2 sections.  The first section is the “Rules Regarding Scoring” and the second is “Instructions On Scoring” which consists of 3 parts of written instruction for scoring.  Page 3 offers an simple to comprehend example of how to use the book. 

The next page starts the scoring pages of which there are enough for 27 games.  The left side page is devoted to the visitor and the right hand page to the home team.  Running crossways the top of the two pages are spaces for coaches names, records, scorers name, timers name, officials names, game site, date, weather condition info, field condition info and running score information.

Each individual scoring page features lines for 22 players with their records, a shots table, fouls table, field diagrams for apiece half and an overtime period, a cautions area with #, time and violation columns, corner kicks table, goal – assist – time plateau and a saves table.

Skipping through all the scoring pages you will come to a “Individual Cumulative Totals” section.  This section starts with an example page and contains a total of 5 pages apiece of which have space enough for 5 players obloquy with the left most column providing space for 27 opponent obloquy to match the number of games you can score with the book.

The final page of the NFHS Official Soccer Scorebook is a field diagram featuring all necessary measurements for the field, officials area, and coaching areas as well as information on corner flag standards.

Over all the NFHS scorebook is very comprehensive and simple to use.

KwikGoal 20B601 Standard Size Soccer Scorebook

Right off the bat you can tell you have a calibre scorebook here.  Both covers are wrapped in plastic film for weather protection.  The film stays on the book all the time unlike other books that wage a plastic sleeve which must be removed.

The first page in the book is a season schedule and scrimmage schedule area with place for home and visitor scores and date.  One interesting thing on this page that I have not seen before is the space at the bottom of this page which grants room to write down the local newspapers phone number, radio/TV station phone number, physicians phone number, office phone number and miscellaneous.  Promoting your team and school is becoming an important part of the game as well.  Obviously the folks at KwikGoal are in touch with today’s coaches.  This page also offers field diagrams but for what purpose I’m not sure- one is tagged “goals for”  the other “goals against”.  There are only the two and they seem out of place.  There are no field diagrams on the scoring pages of the book.

The next page offers some advice to the coach reminding them to make sure they appoint someone to keep score and make sure they know how to use the book before the first scrimmage.  Seems like obvious advice but in today’s hectic world one might forget I suppose.  Below that is the instruction on using the book. Plain English here in massive type.  Seems simple enough. The next page is an example of a scoring page that is tagged to correspond with the previous pages instruction.  Doesn’t get much easier than that. 

What follows is scoring pages for 24 games.  Each game uses one page only for scoring and stats on both the home and visiting team.  Space is at a premium but the book is well ordered out.  Top left corner of apiece page is date, time, scorer, timer, field location, field condition, weather condition and referees lines.  To the right of that at the top in the middle is the running score for apiece period and 2 O.T.’s. and to the far right top of apiece page is a box title “Game Summary”.

The page is then divided in half.  The left side being devoted to the Home Team and the right of course to the Visiting Team.  Twenty-Four lines are provided for players obloquy and their stats.  On the side of that plateau is 5 small tables on which you place X’s to keep score they are titled in order from top to bottom- Shots on Goal, Keeper Saves, Corner Kicks, Direct Kicks and Indirect Kicks.

Below all of this is a Goal Info area offering space to detail how the goals were scored etc.

After the scoring pages there are 5 pages of Game-By-Game Statistics For Each Player, apiece page has space for 4 players giving a total of 20.  That section is followed by a single page titles End Of Season Summary which has columns for all the needed info and rows for 25 opponents.  Finally you will find 3 pages of field diagrams, apiece page offers two fields.

This book seems to have a tiny smaller print than others but is very well organized.  Let’s not forget the plastic film covers either. 

KwikGoal 20B901 Oversized Soccer Scorebook

The KwikGoal Oversized scorebook measures a full 10″ x 14″.  Other than the size all of the contents are same to the above KwikGoal Standard Size Scorebook.  Size does matter in this case however.  The larger format offers all of those great features of the above model but twice the space.  Plenty of room to write with no eye strain.  It’s simple to see why this book is so popular. 

Doss Official Soccer Scorebook

Last but not least is the Doss Soccer Scorebook.  This is also an oversized format scorebook measuring 11″ x 13″.  The doss book feels heavy for some reason- it must be the thick cardboard backing.  Seems very sturdy.

Cover has some sheen to it so it might resist a tiny moisture.  First thing you see on the inside is an advertisement for Doss Sports, next comes a field diagram that offers players positions.  This would be great for the beginner coach or youth coach probably.  On that same page is Notes on Scoring and info about proper abbreviations along with measurements for goals and corner flags.  The back of this page is blank, I guess it could be used for notes if needed.  Then we jump into to scoring pages.  There is no example page.

Scoring pages offer a lot of space do to the oversized book.  The books score 24 games.  At the top of apiece page are the standard lines for coaches, referee etc.  Then line for home and visitor team.  The pages are split in half- left for home right for visitor team.  On the left and right edge of apiece page you’ll find 3 field diagrams to mark goals, a plateau for shots on goals, offensive corner kick, goalie saves, fouls committed and off sides.  The middle offers two columns one for apiece team with spaces for 11 players and 11 substitutions, below that is a massive scoring area and finally the running score for apiece period and overtimes.  The back of apiece page is blank so there is lots of room for additional notes, even a swift free hand sketch of the game (if your scorer has time for that pick up the pace a little).

There are no additional stat areas at the end of the book so this is truly a scorebook and does not offer the capability to compile individual players stats for the end of the year.

Summary

All in all the books are similar apiece offering a few different features.  I don’t score soccer but in my individualized view the KwikGoal oversized book seems to offer the most room to write and least strain on the eyes which is important to me.

It is nearly a universal fact nowadays that a lot of parents and their children are having \”communication problems\”, meaning that they don\’t or intentionally won\’t meet eye to eye on some subjects. That\’s pretty normal but it doesn\’t mean that the situation can\’t be improved.

What are the things parents and children commonly disagree on? For younger kids, it is usually the demand of discipline. Kids aged 5 and up are usually found tied to the TV, the personal or their gaming consoles. Rooms are left messy, they refuse to take their meals and refuse to sleep early. Good news though, all of these can easily be solved!

How about teens? Now there\’s a truly PROBLEMATIC stage! Not only is there a demand of discipline but seemingly a demand of purpose as well. During the teenage years, the body and the mind is in turmoil, all sorts of adjustment and growth is happening and there is a tremendous amount of energy available. Think of a fireman\’s hose spitting out torrents but with no one to hold it down.

Raising a kid is pretty much like tending a bonsai tree. A lot of things are obviously parallel. First, it takes time, a WHOLE LOT of time. It will surely take years, decades even. Secondly, It is hard, tedious work. Like the branches of a plant, you will have to train it consistently, applying the wires of tough love each step of the way. Neglect it for just a while and it might grow in an unwanted fashion. Force it back after it has grown and the branch will just break. Finally, to achieve the desired result, you will have to begin as primeval as possible.

Now bending your child into shape sounds like military school! Not necessarily. There is a way to instill discipline and purpose into your child, a way that is not only fun and rewarding but will also bring you closer together as well.

Get him into sports!

Now how does this work?

Sports is undoubtedly fun, I would like to think that it was created mainly for the fun factor. One of it\’s main, if not primary objectives would also be to exercise the body and mind. The neutral in most favourite sports would be to win, which gives it it\’s \”thrill\”. To win of course, you will have to superior than your opponent. This will involve practicing and honing skills which are previously unnatural, which in turn will require patience, perseverance and dedication.

Does this sound like what the physician ordered? Sports has proven to be beneficial to most people and I would advocate that it be something that you and your kid partake of together. However if you do not have the time, it is quite alright that your child go at it by himself. Just make sure that you will always be there to support him otherwise he might lose interest in the endeavor.

There\’s a lot to be gained by participating in sports. Improvement in health and overall physical well-being is always a given. As mentioned earlier, the participant will learn discipline, perseverance etc. Aside from achieving a sense of purpose and accomplishment, there are also surprisingly good bonuses. Lots of scholastic and career opportunities await those who are physically gifted and talented (perhaps to a lesser extent, those who are ardently persistent). Lots of universities offer \”sports scholarships\” to those who are exceptional in their chosen sport, obviously so because sports like football, basketball, soccer (futbol) is large business both for the school and the athlete. We need not mention how much Shaq prefabricated playing in college alone, aside from all the endorsements and whatnot.

Now certainly not all children can be like Mike but I know you do get the picture of the potential harvest in sports. Disadvantages are clearly outweighed, but we\’ll speak about that later.

Now what are some sports that you might want to get your child into? Here are some favourite recommendations as well as some \”pros\” and \”cons\” that you will have to take into consideration.

SWIMMING

Pros: Swimming can very well be considered the \”ultimate workout\”. The 4 strokes or styles of swimming, videlicet Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke and Butterfly utilizes all the parts of the body simultaneously. Water gives ample resistance to wage a low impact workout, meaning that it does not strain the joints or the muscles too much while providing great cardio training. Swimming is also an invaluable skill to learn, the difference between knowing and not knowing how can very well save one\’s life. Pretty cheap sport, all one will need would be a pair of good goggles, a washing suit or trunks and a flotation device (if required by the instructor) and access to a pool, Olympic size preferably. Highly suggested to children with asthma or bronchial conditions.

Cons: Fun bourgeois medium at best, since there is no \”game\” element to the sport. There is a risk of contracting some fruit and skin infections (swimmer\’s ear) when swimming in a public pool. There is also risk of drowning, even though very very minimal.

Sports of similar vein: Cycling, Running (sprint, marathon), Rock climbing.

BASKETBALL

Pros: Very favourite sport, has a high fun factor. It is a team sport which can help your child make friends and learn how to be a team player. Has a cerebral bourgeois to it and will train the player to strategize under pressure. Lots of sports scholarship and career opportunities for those who wish to oppose it professionally.

Cons: Height is a large determining factor, even though a lot of small players throughout history have found their way and prospered in the NBA. There is medium risk of injury as it is a rough sport. The training and the sport itself focuses mainly on the development of the arms and calves, there is considerably high impact on the ankle and foot joints. It being a team sport is a double edged sword. If he happens to be physically inferior, there is a possibility that he will lose interest in the sport as he might not be healthy to get picked into games.

Alternatives you might wish to explore: Baseball, Pro football, Futbol (soccer), Ice Hockey.

LAWN TENNIS

Pros: Pretty enjoyable sport, usually learned first individually. Pro tennis is enjoying a resurfacing popularity worldwide and is one of the most lucrative sports today, it is another sport which can be a great professional career option. Can be played indoor or outdoor. Provides very good training for stamina.

Cons: An costly sport. A decent, entry level tennis racquet costs around $60 up, owning a backup racquet is advisable. Balls around $10 which have to be replaced nearly each other 3 games. Bags, playing uniform shoes are a must. Probably the one you will have to shell out the most for would be the tennis court, which is usually situated in a country club. Teacher fees, court rental fees, accessories (strings, grips etc) might make you reconsider. However if you are the type who has a membership to a country club, most probably money would not be a problem.

Like flying solo? Check out: Badminton, Table Tennis, Squash.

MARTIAL ARTS

Pros: There are a lot of martial arts to learn but for children to teens, I would like to advocate 3 types as of now: Judo, Aikido and TaeKwonDo . By far the cheapest sport among those I have already mentioned, as it only requires a \”gi\” or whatever uniform is prescribed, aside from the lessons. I would definitely advocate this for girls and women as it is a good way to learn how to defend oneself against rape or any kind of violence. This is possibly the only sport which requires its students to adhere to a certain \”code of conduct\” if you will, as the nearly any martial art is inextricably tied to a philosophy. I would go as far as to state that the martial arts is not merely a sport or a way of self defense, rather it is a complete mentality and way of life. By far this is the ideal way to instill discipline, especially to children who are somewhat incorrigible. Great way to build flexibility and conditioning.

Cons: Fun bourgeois quite low. Judo and Aikido come from Nihon and TaeKwondo is from Korea. Lessons are held in a \”dojo\” where the mood is pretty somber or reserved all throughout the sessions, which is very characteristic of temperaments from the country of origin. Instructors or \”sensei\” are very strict. High risk of injuries if the students are required to spar. Frustrating to learn at first, especially Aikido.

If you\’re pretty somber yourself, try: Archery, Equestrianism, Ballet.
