The stories in this collection are prizewinning entries in the Category Sports Stories in the Competition of Writers of Children's Books organized by Children's BookTrust.
Sport is an activity though done for pleasure, requires physical effort, appropriate skill, sheer hard work and a strong will to win. It helps in all-round development of an individual. It teaches discipline and tolerance, and inculcates healthy competition. The collection of stories aims to inspire children to play the game in the spirit of the game.
