Soccer School Madness! by Emma Dredge

Julius loved soccer. He's desperate to play in the team, but whenever he tries, he always falls over his feet. Whenever Julius comes to the pitch, the other team members sigh.

Then one day, one of the usual players is sick, and Julius has to play. Still falling over all the time, his team is losing by half time. But when Julius sees a pile of plates and cups starting to wobble, he dives forward quickly as a flash and catches them all.

Seeing this, the manager realizes that Julius would make a very good goalkeeper. But will it be enough to keep him in the team?
