1.0 out of 5 stars New Game Ideas..., February 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: 101 Team Games for Kids (Paperback)

The games "shared" here are not new and if they are they are actually taken most without permission from other authors and professionals. Mr. Dinoffer's book provides coaches with a tool that is sub-par to that of materials offered by the USTA, ITF and ETA. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS MATERIAL but recommend you going to the ITF website for updated information and materials. Please note: Any comments preceding mine that strongly give support to this book will likely been written by Mr. Dinoffer and his associates. Certified coaches need to be aware...and BEWARE...

2.0 out of 5 stars Ordinary Copied Ideas, February 12, 2001

By 

Dr. K. Roberston (Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 101 Team Games For Kids (Hardcover)

I was so looking forward to this book and was somewhat disappointed that it seemed to "share" ideas and concepts that have at from my experience been copied or duplicated from other books and tennis governing bodies such as the USPTA and USPTR. Joe has to either take a long break from the game or read, "Inspiring Creativity Where You Work," sold at Amazon also...

This review is from: 101 Team Games for Kids (Paperback)

Why are these 2 horrible reviews here? This book has nothing to do with USTA, USPTA, ITF, ETA, USPTR, or whatever other tennis acronym you can think of. This book has nothing TO DO WITH TENNIS.
