The Sports Rules Book offers coaches, players, physical education
teachers, youth sport administrators, and sport enthusiasts the
information they need to understand and play 64 of today's most popular
sports. Each chapter covers a different sport--the sport's origin and
history, description of the playing area, useful terminology, equipment
needs, and essential rules. Selected sports' coverage also includes
officials' signals and rule modifications to help teachers and sport
administrators adapt the sport for younger and less-skilled players.
This edition contains updated coverage on most major sports and includes
10 new sports: adventure racing, cornhole, bocce, croquet, horseshoes,
kung fu, pickleball, surfing, speed climbing, and stand-up paddleboard
racing.
The chapters are in alphabetical order and contain standardized sections
for quick reference. Each chapter is also reviewed and approved by an
appropriate governing body or an expert in the sport to ensure accurate
and up-to-date information.
With understandable and concise rules for 64 sports, The Sports Rules
Book is the all-in-one answer book for teaching and playing most of the
world's most popular sports.
