Falls extremely short
Got this book in hopes of learning some fun new games to play with my collection of cage balls. However this book lists several incredibly basic two person activities that most kids would be bored with in minutes, if they played at all. The group games consist mostly of playing any other game with a larger ball, but little that is large ball specific. The rest could be summed up in single sentences (roll the ball over the kids backs, roll the ball over the kids legs, etc.). Very few actual games, mostly just stunts. Very disappointed.

GREAT book!
Hard to find book... great games for huge balls. My uncle loves it. He's a youth pastor and he bought a 6ft ball for the teens.

Good Book
This book has a lot of good activities to us with the big balls. We have already used a lot of them in the gym.
