content: Consists of athletic instructional motion picture films made and distributed by Frank Ryan starting in the 1960s and into the early 1970s. The films, which run between ten and twenty minutes, detail the technique of a wide range of sports and were intended for use in schools to supplement coaching or to encourage young people to participate in athletic events.

Most of the reels within this series are original pre-print elements and in most cases the Archives Center does not hold the completed print. These films do not reflect the entirety of Frank J. Ryan's sports training film series.
