Program 1

Team Read

It's about culture, it's about a language, it's about sharing the goal.

Every team needs a story it can rally around, and this is the right one. Can I Play? is fast, it's fun, and your players will fly through it, no dragging anyone to the finish line here. But underneath the quick pace is something that sticks: your players will see themselves in Keli, in the pressure she feels, the doubts she carries, the choice to go for it anyway. That recognition is what makes a team read actually work. It's not you telling them to communicate, trust each other, and buy into the group, it's them watching a character live it, then talking about it in their own words. Give your team this book, and you're not just handing them a story. You're handing them a mirror and a shared language, and watching your voice as a coach land louder because now it's coming from both directions.

Program 2

Classroom Read

A story students will actually finish.

Yes, Can I Play? is a sports story, but look around your classroom, and you'll realize almost every student in it played a sport at some point in their life. Some still do. Most don't. And these days, it's worth asking: what kind of competition are they learning from instead? This book isn't really about volleyball. It's about being a teenager, about high school life, about a junior who decides to change everything for one chance to prove herself. That's not an athlete's story. That's every student's story, the pressure to be enough, the fear of leaving what's comfortable, the hope that you're capable of more than anyone's given you credit for. Every kid in your room, whether they've ever touched a ball or not, needs to see someone their age go for it anyway. That's what this book gives them.

Club Read

Deeper than the name on the jersey.

Your players already share a jersey. Give them something deeper than the name on it. A club read gives every player on the roster, and every coach in the gym, the same story to carry through the season, and Can I Play? is the right one. It's a story about the drive to become an elite player and everything that drive demands: trusting the process, building real friendships, and figuring out how to balance being a teenager with being an athlete. It's fast, it's fun, and it's cost-friendly enough to drop straight into every player's start-of-season gear bag alongside their kneepads and warm-ups. And it says something to parents, too, that your club cares about who their daughter is becoming, not just how she performs on the court. Set them out at your local tournaments as well. A book like this sells itself in the right moment, to the right parent, at the right table.

The right book, at the right table, in the right moment.

Running a tournament or a camp? You already know t-shirts sell, but a book sends a different message. It says you're about more than what happens on the court. Books sell best when the moment is spontaneous and emotional, a parent watching their kid compete, feeling proud, feeling everything, and that's exactly the moment your merch table gets to catch. It works even better when you or your staff can look someone in the eye and recommend it yourselves. Anyone who picks up a copy can head to our website for a free discussion guide, a genuinely great resource for book reports and classroom use, not just a bonus PDF. And we take the risk off your table: if the books aren't moving, send back what's left, any time, full refund. No guesswork, no dead inventory. It's simply the right book for this season.
