From School Library Journal

Grade 7 Up-An impressive amount of advice and information has been packed into this book. A chapter devoted to each major sport includes information on equipment, dress, a brief history, rules, key elements of the game, trying out for a team, common injuries, training and cross-training activities, and a glossary. Other chapters provide solid advice on how to break into male-dominated sports, issues related to female participation in sports (e.g., biases, problems with coaches, overtraining, nutrition, drugs, and overzealous parents), and participation beyond high school. A section of resources includes books, Web sites, and organizations. Each chapter includes an average-quality, black-and-white photograph. Readers interested in female sports will find this book informative and useful.
