April May Finds a Team

Meet April May, a young girl who discovers the wonderful world of soccer in her own backyard!

When April May and her mother move into a new home, she finds a soccer field right behind her house and a secret place where she can watch and wonder while girls her age run, jump, learn, and play the game of soccer.

April May dreams and wishes she could play, too, but thinks she never will, until, one day by accident, she finds out that she can! She even learns her first "tip" on how to play.

Join April May as she begins her journey into a world she only dreamed of before.
