The Travels of Francisco De Coronado (Explorers and Exploration)

The definitive instructional book on the fastest-growing women's sport in the country. Since the American women won Olympic Gold in 1994, there has been an absolute explosion in the sport's popularity among girls and young women. It is a game that is quite different from not only baseball, but even from men's softball. Now comes the first truly comprehensive instructional book, with the backing, and the accumulated wisdom, of the legary Louisville Slugger company. Covering every aspect of this challenging game, including hitting, fielding, offensive strategy, and defensive tactics, the book features interviews with top-level collegiate, Olympic, and professional players and coaches, shedding light on some of the fine and more subtle points of the game, from scouting opponents to detecting a pitcher's pitch pattern.

Everyone knows of at least one child who regularly has the following exchange with his best friend: "What do you want to do today?" "l don't know, what do you want to do?" Pick-Up Games: The Rules, The Players, The Equipment, a complete reference to spin-off sports, will cure every child's boredom. These exciting games - whether played in a schoolyard, the street, a playground, a sports field, a gymnasium or just about anywhere else - can be played by boys and girls at different levels of athletic ability, with almost any number of participants and with easy-to-find equipment. Organized by over a dozen main sports (including baseball, basketball, badminton, field hockey, frisbee and soccer), the book then breaks down into hundreds of spin-off sports, known as pick-up games, which can sharpen specific skills and add a creative twist to an overplayed game. Under baseball, for example, players can learn adaptable favorites such as Scrub Ball, Stickball, Wiffleball, Homerun Derby, Stoopball, Pickle, Pepper and countless others. Each entry includes number of players, equipment, playing area, ages, and complete rules and instructions. The book also contains a chapter on "More Fun and Games," which offers rules and instructions for several games such as Bocce Ball, Tag and Kick the Can, which did not evolve from a particular sport. With more than 50 diagrams, an appendix listing pick-up games by number of players, a glossary and an index, Pick-Up Games is a handy instructional tool for young athletes, parents, gym instructors and camp counselors.
