1 Book for 1 Boy Becomes 100 Titles for Kids All Across the United States
As we enter football season and prepare for the World Series, one very determined entrepreneur has been growing her business from 1 gift for 1 young sports fan, who needed entertainment during a long hospital stay, to over 100 titles reaching kids all across the U.S. this year. GO Series Sports Activities Books include all 32 NFL teams, all 30 MLB teams, and 34 college teams.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In the Sports Zone, founded by Darla Hall, publishes sports-themed activities books designed for young people. Starting in 2011 with a hand-made book for a young sports fan during his long-term hospitalization after getting hit by a car, Darla realized that sports activities books could both entertain and educate children and their families. Miles, the young fan, is fine now and attends book signings with Hall. Darla's one book for one boy has become In the Sports Zone's (ITSZ) GO Series Sports Activities Books.

The 30 Major League Baseball Sports Activities Books launching now join the current sets for all 32 NFL teams and for 34 college teams. The GO Series has grown dramatically from two books — University of Alabama and Auburn — that first year to 13 books in year two to 52 books in 2014. At 96 titles now, ITSZ will reach 100 titles by the end of 2015.
"Our mission is to put smiles on kids' faces. Games, puzzles, fun facts, and so much more engage children while they're learning about their favorite teams," says Darla about the books. "A GO Series book gives kids and their families a wholesome pastime and lots of fun while they're sharing their love of a college or pro team. ITSZ gives back by dedicating a portion of sales to contribute free books to children in hospitals."

- Picture Puzzles

- Fun Facts

All GO Series Sports Activities Books are properly licensed. The NFL books were created by Darla Hall for National Design, the licensed manufacturer of the National Football League. Locally, ITSZ won $43,000.00 in the Alabama Launch Pad competition this year. Every college book (except OK) comes with a free iTunes App.
In the Sports Zone, LLC, is the creation of Darla Hall, Birmingham, Alabama. Darla graduated from Ball State University, Indiana. Known as Mighty Mo, she was the smallest player on her high school volleyball team. Her dad put lines on the wall for Darla to jump and tap. As Darla reached one, her dad made another line higher. With fierce determination, Darla increased her jump until she could spike from the front row. Darla brings that perseverance to In the Sports Zone.
Passionate about the GO Series and a delightful conversationalist, Darla is available for interviews for print, online, or broadcast. Copies of GO Series books are available for review upon request.
