Synopsis
This guide for parents, coaches, and physical education professionals describes how participation in sports can support the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development of children ages 5- 12. Topics include, for example, the age at which children should begin playing organized sports, the development of motor skills, and the positive and negative effects of competition. Humphrey (emeritus, kinesiology, U. of Maryland) has been involved with children's sports for nearly 60 years. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
