It was Coach Bradley. He was carrying a thin book under his arm. When he, Lisa, Ted, and their parents were all sitting at the kitchen table, he showed them the book. The tattered cover had a picture of a soccer player on it. “I haven’t used this rule book in a while because most of what I need to know is up here.” Coach Bradley tapped his forehead. “But when you talked about doing flips today, it reminded me of something I’d read.” He thumbed through the pages until he found the one he wanted. “Here, read this part.” He handed the book to Lisa. Lisa read out loud. “‘As long as the person taking the throw-in follows all the rules, there’s no reason why he or she can’t do a flip throw rather than a standing throw. But coaches should be sure the throw-in is okay with the referees before letting players attempt such a move.’ ” Lisa looked up at the coach.
