Lila loves tennis. Lila holds her racket. "I want to be a champion!" she says.

Mom says, "Let's go to the club!" Lila smiles. She puts on her sneakers. "I am ready!" says Lila.

At the club, Lila sees a tall man. He is a champion! His name is Coach Sam. "Hello, Lila," says Coach Sam. "I will help you."

"Yes, please!" says Lila. Lila and Coach Sam run. They hit the ball. "Bounce, hit, bounce!" says Coach Sam.

Lila practices hard. She is happy. But, oh no! Lila can't find her racket. "Where is my racket?" Lila asks.

Coach Sam says, "Let's look together." They look in the bag. They look on the bench.

"Maybe the locker room?" says Coach Sam. Lila nods. They go to the locker room.

"I see it! My racket!" says Lila happily. It was on a shelf.

"Great job, Lila," says Coach Sam. Lila is ready for the big game.

Lila hits the ball. "Bounce, hit, bounce!" she says. She plays with friends.

They laugh. They have fun. "Teamwork is great!" says Lila.

Lila and her friends finish the game. "Good job!" says Coach Sam.

"Thank you!" says Lila. "I love tennis!"

Mom hugs Lila. She is proud. "You did it, Lila!"

Lila smiles big. "I am a champion!" she says.

Lila learns that sport is fun. She learns about teamwork.

And Lila knows: never give up, always try.
