Sports courts, fields, and arenas can be so much more than places for keeping kids off the streets. Well-orchestrated school and youth sports programs have the potential of renewing the spirits of participants, teaching life's lessons, and strengthening family and community ties. This book helps parents take advantage of sports' full range of possibilities for teaching life's lessons and strengthening the family and community. It provides the basis for an ongoing dialogue about how families can get the most out of their sports experiences. In short, it equips parents to add value to their family's investment in sports.
