From the publisher:
It’s soccer season for the Blossom Hill Blitzers. Shawn Hunter is dying to make the team. But some of the kids call him "Fiddlesticks" because he brings his violin to after-school practice. And because his legs are skinny as sticks.

Secretly, Shawn works out at home—but time is running out. Can his cul-de-sac friends help him make the team? Or will the teasing at school mess Shawn up during tryouts?
