This vintage book contains a comprehensive guide go teaching athletics written by F. A. M. Webster. Originally intended for athletics coaches and teachers, it offers information on the manner and sequence in which every sporting event should be taught to students, together with the common problems a coach should watch out for and much more. Written in simple language and profusely illustrated, "Teaching and Training Athletics" will be of considerable utility to P.E. teachers and those wishing to learn the basics of athletics.

He wrote profusely on the subject of athletics, with his best known book being "Athletics in Action" (1931). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on athletics.
