This is not sports, but it is something that both of you might find interesting:
The Ring of McAllister: A Score Raising Mystery Featuring 1046 Must Know SAT Vocabulary Words, by Robert Marantz. 352 pages. Ages 14 and up. How great would it be if your son/pupil could read an engrossing mystery story, while expanding his vocabulary in preparation for the SAT test? This book does just that. Will, Katie and Ty are seventeen year old high school friends that get drawn into a mysterious and creepy set of events, during a summer they will never forget. A new family has moved into the notorious Stone Manor mansion, next to Will's house. Will starts reliving some early childhood fears about the mansion. A man named McAllister was supposedly murdered there years ago, but the body was never discovered. After the new family moves in, strange things start to happen. The author does a nice job of unfolding the mystery, and laces the story with many creepy moments. The book contains 1046 words interspersed throughout the story that are highlighted in bold. These are the typical words that tend to show up on the SAT test, and this method is a great way to learn them. In our opinion, this beats the heck out of flash cards. The reader sees how the word is used in context, and the definitions are conveniently listed at the bottom of each page. An alphabetical word listing and definitions is also included at the back of the book. In stock. $12.95. Add to CCNow Cart

The major sports always get the headlines but if a minor sport theme were to be the storyline combined with a real life struggle and ending with achievement might be something good for young readers! I have always been a proponent of minor sports and kids can get a college education just by working hard to become proficient! Just a humble thought! Shelly
