Player Taking A Throw-In Coloring Page

Both hands grip the ball above this player's head, elbows bent, feet planted level. That is a legal throw in, and the rules behind the pose are worth saying out loud while a child colors it. Both feet stay on the ground. The ball travels from behind the head, over the top, with both hands on it the whole way. Lift a heel or throw one handed and the referee gives it to the other team. The shirt carries a large blank panel across the chest, which is where a number or a sponsor would sit on real kit, so a child can invent one or leave it clean. Socks pull up over the shins and the boots lace at the front. Start with the shirt and shorts, decide the team's two colors, then carry them to the socks so the whole strip agrees. The ball above the head is small enough to finish quickly and sits against plain white paper, so it reads clearly however it is filled. Front facing figures like this one suit children who are still learning to color inside a line, because every shape is large and closed.
