<p>PLEASE NOTE: There is a B&W edition that includes the same content but costs $11.99. The Full Color Edition of "Field Hockey: The Beginner's Guide" will help readers learn how to begin playing and coaching the great sport of field hockey. Both editions not only provide an overview of the sport but important details on, for example, how to pick a stick, player safety equipment, and goalkeeping equipment. "Field Hockey: The Beginner's Guide" discusses playing rules, penalty plays, suspensions, and shows and explains umpiring signals. A checklist at the back of "Field Hockey: The Beginner's Guide" allows coaches to assess players on more than 50 skills. Field hockey evangelist Cris Maloney, author of "Field Hockey: Understanding the Game", is back with another important offering for your bookshelf. "Field Hockey: The Beginner's Guide" will help readers begin how to play and coach the great sport of field hockey. Maloney provides an overview of the sport, replete with illustrations and photographs, and includes exclusive and detailed coverage of the MALONEY METHOD. The genesis of the MALONEY METHOD came from a presentation titled "Field Hockey: The First 30-Minutes" that the author made at an International Olympic Committee Olympic Solidarity course held at the US Olympic Training Center in 1985. Since that time the MALONEY METHOD has been used to train thousands of beginners in private lessons, recreation programs, and in physical education classes. Peer-to-peer teaching is great way to expand the number of participants in a sport. This is easy to do with the MALONEY METHOD because it provides teenagers with an easy to remember system they can use to teach their friends or younger children. Using MALONEY METHOD, for example, a girls' field hockey team can, in a single afternoon, teach the boys' soccer team how to play field hockey and have challenging opponents in their school ready to play in weekly scrimmages. Anyone who becomes skilled in the MALONEY METHOD, can use it to introduce field hockey to new players in as little as 30-minutes.</p>
