Description
The book begins with Greg arguing about his past experience with sports and why he always lost in them. Upon learning about a Field Day at school, where the winning homeroom gets 2 days off, he begins to train for the day. He attempts to go the gym with his father Frank Heffley, but they are both kicked out of the local Gym due to Greg making too much noise and beatboxing.
First Day at school turns out to be a large disaster, students to give them an advantage, students are paid to fail in the game, and ultimately, the lunch staff wins the day. Due to the custodial staff having to take care of lunch, the principal is forced to give everyone the day off. Greg is sluggish after the catastrophe, but Greg’s mom Susan encourages him to give sports one more try, as he reluctantly signs up for basketball.
He performs terribly at tryouts, but he manages to make it onto a team, with coach Mr. Patel. He had got his son Preet, who is incredibly skilled at the sport onto the team as well (Preet had to miss tryouts due to his uncle’s funeral, so Mr. Patel created a team with the kids who were cut from tryouts so his son could play). The team has difficulties practicing, and their court is rented out by another club.
