Overview
Ambition. Drive. Determination. Talent. Courage. Teamwork. Every athlete knows what it takes to win. But for teen female players, the stakes are so much higher. In this anthology, the voices of these athletes come alive, highlighting the ferocity of those who are often shunted to the side. From navigating rampant misogyny to forging a sisterhood through sweat or just reveling in the love of the game, these stories address the phenomenal physical and emotional power of teenage athletes as they compete, persevere, and thrive, both on and off the field.

Praise for Out of Our League: A January/February 2024 Kid's Indie Next Pick! A Junior Library Guild Selection A New York Public Library Best Book of 2024 ""This book is a knockout. All of the stories have so much heart and beauty. The representation across these pages proves there are strong girls of every race, culture, ability, and background who will fight for greatness in sports and in life."" --Sam Butler, Bright Side Bookshop, Flagstaff, AZ ""The characters display grit and determination as they learn a new sport or struggle with team dynamics. Impressively inclusive with plenty of appeal for sports lovers and couch potatoes alike."" --Kirkus ""[The character's] victories, outside of pushing themselves and winning scores, are personal and political, and offer an inclusive sense of empowerment that inspires."" --School Library Journal
