Magic Soccer Ball

This is the first book in a new series featuring Rone, the Magic Soccer Ball. Aimed as children ages 4-16, the series describes the beautiful game of soccer in attractive and detailed illustrations and text. The first book introduces Rone, who names of each part of the soccer field (including many things that novice coaches and parents may not know). The illustrations emphasize points that children would not understand by only reading rules or purely instructional books.
