The illustrated children’s books teach foundational concepts and vocabulary in a fun way that allows children, parents and coaches to develop together in the beautiful game.

Rather, the purpose of these books is to assist the player in mastering concepts as the game becomes more complex.

This is an essential skill that helps young players not only in sport, but also in life. Each title is not intended to supplant the instruction of a coach, or the time a child spends learning a sport by playing it. Rather, the authors purpose is to assist young players with their comprehension of sport in a way that is engaging, inspiring, and empowering.
