This social story describes the proper technique for throwing the ball back in bounds during a soccer game. It explains that if the opposing team kicks the ball out, the reader can use their hands to throw it back in. The reader is instructed to use both hands, keep their feet flat on the ground, call out a teammate's name, and throw the ball towards their feet at a safe height so they are not hurt. The goal is to only use hands for in-bounds throws and to have fun doing it.
