Tommy loved football. His favorite team, the Rockets, played every Saturday.

He watched them practice. He saw them run, pass, and tackle.

One day, Coach Ray said, 'How would you like to join us, Tommy?'

Tommy was excited. He got his own uniform and started to train hard.

Practice was tough. Tommy learned to throw the ball and run fast.

His first game came. Nervous, Tommy remembered his practice and felt braver.

The whistle blew. Tommy caught the ball and ran as fast as he could.

He dodged players from the other team. The end zone was close!

With a final push, Tommy scored a touchdown! The crowd cheered loudly.

His teammates lifted him up. 'Great job, Tommy!' they shouted with pride.

After the game, Coach Ray said, 'You played so well today, Tommy.'

Tommy felt proud. He knew that hard work and practice made him better.
