I used this when incorporating exercise play at the nursery school and when planning events for sports day. It was very helpful when I was young, as it explains everything clearly with illustrations, from basic to advanced techniques! The fact that it covers all ages was also a great point. I've looked at it several times, so some people might notice some wear and tear, but I've handled it carefully, so there are no major scratches or stains.
