When a violent brawl erupts at a suburban junior soccer game, some

onlookers are shocked. But others saw it coming. Rivalry, parental

pressure, coaching bias, inequity, and many other factors have played a

part in turning Saturday mornings into a pressure cooker.

Thirteen-year-old Audrey is a talented young football player. But does she

want to play for Australia or does she just want to please her father, Ben,

whose own thwarted sporting career looms large in his ambitions for his

daughter? Audrey's mother, Jonica, doesn't know whether to be more

concerned about her anxious daughter, her overbearing husband, or the

only other girl on the team, Katerina, who is causing trouble on and off the

field. And Katerina's mother, Carmen, is so busy looking for opportunities

to give Katerina more game time that she fails to notice what is really

capturing her daughter's attention. When Griffin, a naturally gifted player

with spectacular skills, arrives, the tension within the team reaches boiling

point. But who is going to crack first - the parents or the players?
