Description
Austin Plays Fair is a story about how it is better to play the game fair and the right way rather than win. Austin loves playing on his flag football team, but he has been frustrated by his team's recent losing streak. Other players are tired of it too, and when someone suggests that they cheat to win everyone else agrees. Understanding that there is more to sports than just winning, and knowing the importance of playing fair, is a significant lesson that kids can learn from this book. Also, knowing when to stand up for what is right even when it might be difficult is another key takeaway. In this story, Austin is faced with a tough decision and has to decide if he wants to follow the crowd or do the right thing. 32 pgs, hc.
Publisher's Description of Austin Plays Fair: A Team Dungy Story About Football (Team Dungy)
Fair Play Is Always the Right Way
Austin loves playing flag football for the Trentwood Tigers. There is only one problem. His team has lost six games in a row, and he doesn't like losing. At his next game, Austin's teammate has a plan to trick the other team. It works, but Austin knows his team cheated to win.
Coach Tony and Coach Lauren remind Austin the most important thing about football isn't winning—it's playing fair. When his team takes the field for their next game, will Austin choose to cheat again, or will he stand up for what's right? What would you do if you were in Austin's shoes?
