This service that Mr. Jones provides is invaluable. So many times when we are introduced to new sports (soccer, lacrosse, etc) it's difficult to figure out and understand the rules and how the game is played. These products provide the critical elements that allow anyone to understand how the different athletic events are played. My only criticism is why I didn't think of this incredible idea and service before Mr. Jones.

During the one season that my son played high school Lacrosse, I never figured out what was going on in the game. Several parents tried to explain the lightning fast play but I was lost...always. What a difference it would have made if I had had in hand the SportSpectator Guide to Men's Lacrosse. The guide explains completely and concisely the object of the game, play strategies, position and purpose of players and the scoring of points. I particularly like the Lacrosse Field Diagram which graphically shows all the player positions and names the parts of the field according what type of play occurs in which parts of the field. The guide explains the rough physical contact of "stick checking" and "body checking" during defensive play and as a parent, it would have been helpful to have understood the importance of and guidelines around these maneuvers. The guide is very accessible, easy to carry in a purse or pocket, and laminated so it holds up throughout the season. What a find!
