Leo dreams of being a star wide receiver, catching passes and scoring touchdowns. But when his coach doubts his fit for the role, Leo must discover new ways to contribute to his team's success. As the pressure mounts, can Leo uncover his true strengths and make the game-winning play? Dive into the action and find out if Leo can rise to the challenge and redefine his role on the field.

From the publisher

A football book full of on the field action perfect for middle grade readers. In football, most touchdowns are scored in two ways. First, give the ball to a player and let him run. Second, the quarterback throws the ball to a receiver who takes it in for the score. Leo wants to be a wide receiver–the player that catches passes and scores touchdowns. But his coach isn’t so sure that the position is right for Leo. He must figure out how to help his team in other ways by learning other ways to score. In Special Teams, Leo’s team is counting on him to know his strengths and make the right play.
