Moving to a new place can feel completely overwhelming. When Maria and her family settle into a new town, her parents have an idea to help her make friends. They sign her up for the summer soccer team. There is just one catch. Maria has never played soccer in her life! Maria would much rather be back in the water swimming with her old team. She is incredibly worried that she will be the worst player on the field and that the other kids will not like her. Thankfully, Coach Tony and Coach Lauren are there to help. They gently remind Maria that every single person has to start somewhere. If she does not give soccer a try, she will never know if she likes it! Have you ever been scared to try something completely different? Join Maria as she laces up her cleats and steps onto the field. This uplifting story shows you how to find your bravery. You might just discover that your scary new challenge is actually your next favorite hobby.
