by Bob Bigelow, Tom Moroney, Linda Hall

The authors contend that children should compete in these programs to have fun and learn the basics of sports activities. However children often have difficulties enjoying themselves because organized sports programs emphasize winning at all costs.

The authors argue that both the parents and organizations that sponsor sports programs need to change their philosophy to allow children to enjoy themselves while participating in games. This book suggests ways to organize athletic programs to emphasize play rather than competition, stressing that younger children should become involved to have a good time.
