The Origins of Sports

All parents support their children in doing sports. Kids are often growing up surrounded by different kinds of sport activities. Let it be active or passive. It doesn't matter if you (and your kids) are skiing down the hill or you are just watching sport on TV, you can love the sport anyway. And this apllies also for:

• Athletics
• Skating
• Ice hockey
• Golf
• Football
• Tennis
• Basketball
• Swimming
• Baseball

Read about these ten popular sports and explore how they developed during the centuries. Find out where the idea of a goal came from, and what is the origin of the ball. And why do we kick it rather than carry it in our hands? Because if we did it would no longer be football, but rugby, or maybe even American football... If these questions have ever occurred to you, or the fact that hockey was played in ancient Egypt is news to you, this book will give you all the answers!
