                                                tryouts, both boys are working hard to practice their skills. Peter

                                                is a star forward. Berk is the goalkeeper who had saved the day

                                                in the state championship. Peter tells Berk that he heard there

                                                is a new student at school who will also be trying out for
                                                goalkeeper. Berk meets the new boy, Ryan, who is very confident.


                                                Berk is worried and a little apprehensive going into tryouts.








                                             TRYOUTS





                                             2     It didn’t take long for the differences between Berk and
                                                Ryan to become clear during tryouts.

                                             3     As they worked on various drills, Berk was clearly better at
                                                many of the technical parts of the game.

                                             4     He made good decisions on when to come out of the goal
                                                to challenge a shooter or to pick up a loose ball. He always
                                                seemed to be in the right place at the right time.

                                             5     When shots were taken on him, Berk made solid saves and
                                                controlled the rebounds.


                                             6     Ryan was a little wilder in the goal. He took unnecessary
                                                chances, coming out of the net to challenge a player when it
                                                would have been smarter to stay back. He often found

                                                himself out of place.



                                                  apprehensive  If you are apprehensive, you are worried something bad might
                                                  happen.

                                                  that are needed to play.
