Two Players Racing for the Ball Coloring Page

Two kids chase the same loose ball, running stride for stride with their arms pumping, and the ball sits in the grass at the bottom of the page just ahead of both of them. Neither has reached it yet, which gives the picture its small moment of suspense. The player on the left wears a plain shirt and the one on the right wears a striped one, with four vertical bands running down the front, and that difference is the key to the sheet. Color the stripes in one team's colors and the plain shirt in another and the page immediately reads as a match rather than two friends. Both wear shorts, short socks and trainers, and both have clear friendly faces with different hair. Tufts of grass sprout along the bottom on either side of the ball and a couple more sit under their feet. The ball is drawn at a good size with its panel pattern fully marked out. Everything else is open white.
