Sports are important in educational institutions in virtually all parts of the world. Examples of sports activities students participate in Kenyan schools include soccer, volleyball, netball, hockey, athletics, basketball, and racquet games. Some consider sports to have a positive effect on student- athletes' academic performance while others view it as a hindrance to academic success and a waste of students' precious time. This book is highly recommended for reading by those doubting the role of sports in academic achievement. Students undertaking pedagogy at undergraduate level will find this text very valuable in their programme of study.
