Summary

Sit back and enjoy its the beautiful game! Soccer is the worlds most popular sport, and women are taking center stage. After years on the sidelines, women burst onto the scene in the 1970s and 1980s. Stars such as Mia Hamm brought the game to the masses in the 90s. Now its your turn. Grab a ball and get on a field. After all, the whole world is doing it!

The history, the rules, and the heroines: these nonfiction accounts of women’s sports relate the interesting insights of each sport, including the rules, game play, and standout athletes. Girls looking for role models as well as the “hows and whys” of their favorite game will find the answers in these fresh, accessible titles. Part history, part biography, and part instruction, Girls Play to Win allows readers to access “everything they want to know” about the game. More than an introduction, this series takes what is likely an existing interest and allows the reader to delve deeper. Content consultants are real-world experts that include Olympic athletes and coaches.
