This book will give you a conceptual foundation for understanding the law and its relationship to sport and physical education programs. It attempts to place the kinds of legal problems faced in the day-to-day operations of a physical education or athletic/sport program into commonsense perspective that is easily understood and remembered. It is not intended to teach all there is to know about the law, but instead to serve as an introduction to the areas of law that most often have an impact on administrators, teachers, and coaches.
