Sports and Recreational Activities
For the third consecutive
edition, Liz Miller has contributed the Inline Skating chapter in this
college text book updated every two years. The Fourteenth Edition contains
a condensed, 15-page version of Get Rolling, the Beginner’s Guide
to Inline Skating. Since it’s geared toward future instructors, Chapter
16 begins with readers’ objectives and ends with Teaching Strategies
and Considerations, not found in Get Rolling. The chapter is completed
with a detailed Glossary and Resources section.
Available on Amazon.com as a large-format paperback book, Sports and
Recreational Activities was compiled for McGraw Hill by authors
Dale Mood, Frank Musker, and Judith Rink.
To quote Amazon’s Book Description:
This comprehensive text
offers fundamental information on forty-two different sports and recreational
activities. Up-to-date material includes an overview of all aspects of
the sport, including history, equipment, rules, fundamental skills, techniques,
etiquette, strategy, teaching considerations, leadup games, and reference
materials, including videos. This textbook can be used effectively by
participants, instructors, and instructors-to-be.
And yes, I did list the web sites of skating colleagues and organizations
in my Resources appendix!
