“Let’s see you throw the ball at the end of the flip,” she said.

Again, Lisa had trouble at first. She couldn’t seem to time the throw right. When she released the ball too soon, it shot straight up in the air. Too late, and the ball thudded into the ground in front of her and bounced away. Finally, though, Lisa got the hang of it.

“Okay, now let’s work on aiming for a teammate. Coach, would you head down-field?”

As Coach Bradley jogged to the other end of the backyard, Ted and Bundy came back outside.

“Hold on,” Bundy said. “You’re going to try to reach the coach?” He shook his head in disbelief. “You’ve never thrown the ball that far in your life! No way are you going to make it to him!”

Lisa called back, “We’ll see about that, Bundy Neel!” With a deep breath, she launched herself into a front handspring. The ball met the ground and her legs flipped up and over perfectly. Her upper body followed, and as her feet landed, she released the ball.
