Soccer is Owen Foote's favorite sport, and joining the town league feels like the best thing ever until practice starts. The other kids on the Aliens seem bigger, faster, and more confident, and one teammate is not exactly friendly.

This funny early chapter book follows Owen through team jitters, friendship bumps, and the awkward feeling of wanting to win without leaving someone behind.
