This book ROCKS!
This is such a great book for PE Teachers any and everywhere. It gives you tons of ideas on how to have effective management, quick routines, and most of all tons of activities for pretty much every subject. His other books are full of awesome games as well. I highly recommend this and all of his books to help run an effective, fun and engaging Phys Ed Program - especially at the elementary level. Middle and High School I would recommend buying his other books before this one.

Incredible Resource for First Year PE Teacher
This book has been an incredibly helpful resource for me as a first year PE teacher. I continue to come back to this book for lesson ideas, cooperative games, drills, and more. The explanations are easy to understand, pictures and diagrams are very helpful, and my students have enjoyed every lesson that I have taught from this text so far. Thank you J.D.!!! Your book has been a life saver for me!

This book has some great ideas. If you like stations or keeping a gym completely moving than this book might be for you. Some of the activities and layouts don't seem very feasible. Its a decent book if you are looking for a way to organize stations.

No Standing Around in My Gym from Amazon
This was a gift for my daughter who teaches First Grade at St. Charles Borromeo School in Sacramento, Ca. She is really enjoying it because she gets ideas that she can use at recess to give the children some exercise while they play. I ordered from Amazon on-line and will continue to shop from Amazon because of the quality of the merchandise, the best prices, and their policy which they stand behind. If you have any questions, you can contact them by e-mail or telephone and their staff is very helpful and willing to answer any and all questions. Amazon is my favorite on-line website for all of the above reasons.
