Go for the goal!

BEN was the goalkeeper on his school junior varsity soccer team when another coach approached him and asked him to try out for a classic soccer team, a team made up of the best players from several schools in the area. This team travels to play teams from other areas in the state.

The new team already had another goalkeeper, but the coach was not happy with his play. Ben was very flattered to be asked to join the team, but he wasn't sure he liked the idea of going in to take over the other boy's position. Yet the coach seemed to feel that it would benefit both of them to have a training partner, so Ben did try out for the team and was accepted.
