Advanced?
I was looking for a book on advanced techniques -this is NOT the book.She covers roller hockey, speed skating and other topics very briefly.The book is misnamed...........should read "In Line skating Activities".....

Don't bother
Advanced? Are you kidding? This book spends a lot of time about covering a broad range of topics - but none in depth.I was looking for a good book on techniques -- well this is NOT the one.It is very superfiscial and not worth buying.I found some "beginners" books with more info!

Interesting reading, but broad rather than deep.
This book covers fairly diverse inline areas- speed, hockey, fitness, etc and as a result does not delve too deeply into any one area.If you wish to pursue any one aspect of skating, I'd recommend finding something more specialised.For example, the two areas that I specifically wish to pursue, double push and stair riding, are not covered at all.I find it especially puzzling that stair riding could be missing from a book with this title.

Still, as broad skating book, it's quite interesting and does have some good stuff on stroke technique.

verey good book
good book it tells you the basics and more. i loved it cause i love to in-line skate if you dont now after you read it you will...

hope you like this book! infact i know you willby daniel pruitt ... Read more

great for breaking down the game of roller hockey
As a collegiate roller hockey player and youth hockey coach this book was very helpful. It does a good job of breaking down the skill sets that are necessary to exel at roller hockey. The book also has many detailed drills specified for different team and individual goals. Would recommend to begining players, advanced players, and coaches alike.

A useful part of any coaches library
Although I have never played hockey, I coach a youth roller-hockey team and I find the descriptions and drawings of basic skills extremely useful for improving my ability to explain the core techniques of the game

Very Helpful
This book in my opinion is very helpful to first time players and people who are learning about the game. It has pratice techniques and different drills for all positions of the game which I find to be helpful. If you're a first-timer in the game or want something to give you ideas for drills this book is for you.

it is a great learning book for new players
it is the best book ive readfor learning to play hockey it teaches you everything

This book is a very drill-orientated book.

Overall, I was diappointed with this book. The
main focus was on drills and I wasn't aware
of it.The drills in it are great.They have
many drills for each individual skill.
However, the text wasn't that good.It seems
like it was written from an ice hockey
player's view point.There was little
consideration for the difference between
roller and ice hockey. ... Read more
