Alanna grew up playing soccer at a young age and she learned to love the game by playing every chance she got.  She couldn’t wait to coach her own children when they were old enough to play and it was then that she discovered the need for games to train younger children and developed many of the drills found in the book "Fun Soccer Drills that Teach Soccer Skills to 5, 6, and 7  year olds".

 

Alanna holds her National “D” coaching license from the United States Soccer Federation and has her Bachelors degree in Recreation Therapy. She used her knowledge of games, combined with her knowledge of soccer, to create fun soccer games that teach the important soccer skills to young soccer players to form the base of their game.
