This series covers techniques needed to become successful in each featured sport. It's assumed that readers are familiar with the games as rules and regulations are not emphasized. The tips flow naturally from one to 25. For example, Baseball begins by covering equipment and the proper batting stance and ends with the advice to keep your head in the game and Be alert. Gymnastics, Basketball, and Football start with introductory pages, while Baseball, Hockey, and Soccer have only a couple of sentences and feel more abrupt in style. Text is intermixed with action photographs that often decorate rather than elucidate the precision moves that are necessary. This set will have difficulty competing with the plethora of sports skills titles, such as those in the Skills in Motion series (Rosen Central), which emphasize techniques using slow-motion photographs., School Library Journal Fall 2011
