Go for the Goal! (Fred Bowen Sports Story Series)

My fourth grader loves Fred Bowen’s books, including Go for the Goal.

Nice addition to our school library

Josh and Aidan are excited to be selected for the United, an elite soccer team. Their enthusiam fades as the team just can't seem to win a game. While researching a project for school, Josh learns about a group of women who formed the 1999 U.S. World Cup team and how they had group-building exercises that seemed to help them on the field. Teammates criticize Josh when his coach agrees to try a few of the exercises. Will the team benefit? Can the players finally begin pulling together as a cohesive unit? Young soccer fans will enjoy the book, as will teens who are struggling with the English language. A decent hi-lo book.

They have been many places in the world like China and the Chinese Players lost the finals of the Defensemen
