| This is not just another book touting improved
sportsmanship and better coaching to remedy the violence in youth sports
today. Just Let the Kids Play is the first book to identify the youth sports
systems as the cause of the problem, and offers practical ways to rebuild
them so they better serve the physical and emotional needs of children.
First-round NBA draft pick, part-time NBA scout and youth coach Bob
Bigelow joins journalists Tom Moroney and Linda Hall to put youth sports
under harsh review. They explain the controversial belief that elite
traveling teams at young ages should be abolished and replaced with equal
playing time, team parity and shortened seasons, among others. Focusing on
soccer, basketball, baseball and hockey, they highlight ten programs
nationwide where these principles are working, and offer ways to integrate
them into existing programs without sacrificing a child’s chances for
success.
In the pages of this book you'll discover that it really is possible to
sleep in on Saturdays without sacrificing your child’s future! |
