Sports rules - Henry Russell

Do you know the rules of basketball or squash? This Gem aims to provide the answer for many sports.

With an ever-increasing range of sports available both to participate in and to watch on television, our knowledge of the basic purpose and rules of the game becomes stretched.

Collins Gem Sports Rules provides in a compact style the basic rules and method of play for a wide number of games from the individual challenges of athletics through partner games and on the main team games.

By succinctly summarising the rules and giving a range of illustrations - to show pitch sizes or appropriate kit for playing the game, the reader will come away with a much clearer idea as to how games are played.

The information has been brought together after a major consultation with the ruling bodies of the sports concerned so as to provide reliable summaries.
