Gabe, Eli, and their friends had played together at recess all year. Summer was almost here. "How can we keep playing when school's out?" Gabe asked. "Let's make a plan!" said Eli.

"We could start a summer team," Eli suggested. "We'd need a coach," Gabe said. "Someone to help us learn different sports," Eli added. "Let's ask Miss Tally!" Gabe said. They went together.

"We want to keep playing this summer," Gabe told Miss Tally. "We thought of a team, but we need a coach," Eli added. "I'm listening," she said. She waited while they thought.
