From the Publisher
"I have used the Steps to Success series in several of the activity classes and majors' methods classes I have taught at Carolina. . . . My reaction to Teaching Racquetball is very positive. The skill rating charts are useful in separating the three skill levels. The chapter on 'Precourse Management Decisions' reminds the reader of important information we often neglect." Sherry Salyer Lecturer University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
