A Long Overdue Update
Finally updated, this is now an excellent introduction to rounders. Covering information on the national governing body - the NRA, the book goes on to explain the basic rules of rounders along with details on how to mark out a pitch and the dimensions. There are individual sections on bowling, batting and fielding and the book finishes with ideas for tactical play and teamwork.
As a regular player, I was impressed with the level of detail which was just enough to give you a real feel of modern rounders without being too stuffy, overly detailed or too focused on the rules.
With some great pictures, this is an excellent reference for this great team game brought right up to date.
