What is Keeper's ball about?
Alex is always left on the bench, and his teammates call him Jelly Belly. He is convinced he only gets to play because his dad helps with the weekend matches. But when Alex is finally put in goal, everyone discovers that he has an amazing talent for stopping shots. As the team faces an important match, Alex must prove himself and stand up to the teasing. A funny, uplifting football story about confidence, determination and finding your place.
