Each of these books begins with basic instructions and informs youngsters that the sport is played by both males and females. Cheerleading centers on motions, jumps, stunts, tumbling, and voice control. Hockey emphasizes basic skating, stick handling, shooting, and goaltending. Soccer covers controlling the ball in various positions from defense, offense, and goal keeping. In all three, assorted text boxes point out skills to practice. In the Learn More sections, the authors have included Internet addresses and a few books such as the For Dummies series, which is geared toward adults. Colorful photographs elucidate the texts. Despite the series claim, the books offer only the most basic advice, which can be easily found in countless other series, such as the For Fun! Sports series (Compass Point), which also covers rules, equipment, and strategies, as well as amazing records and interesting facts.
