0:02:04 > 0:02:07OK, guys. Today we're going to practise catching.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Where on the football pitch do we need to catch the ball?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Lots of hands!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Alan, I think I'll ask you. The goalkeeper.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18The goalkeeper! Excellent, Alan, high five for you there.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21OK, we're going to practise to be goalkeepers.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Can I please borrow someone's ball? There you go.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Oh, thank you very much. I'll borrow yours, Leylan.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31There are three things to remember when we're catching.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34We're going to look at it, reach out to catch the ball,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36and we're going to squeeze it in.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38I want you to say it as I do it. Ready?

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Leylan, there's your ball. Off we go!
0:02:55 > 0:02:58So it's look, reach, squeeze.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Look...reach...squeeze.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Excellent looking there.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07GIRLS: Look, reach, squeeze. Good!
0:03:07 > 0:03:11Imagine that ball's an egg. You don't want to break it!
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Oh, no!
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Shall I get you a new egg?
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Excellent, Kush!
0:03:17 > 0:03:19We're going to challenge ourselves...
0:03:19 > 0:03:22So...look, clap, reach, squeeze!

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Reach... Good. Clap!
0:03:32 > 0:03:36While these guys are practising their catching skills,
0:03:36 > 0:03:38here's a reminder for you at home.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41You've got to LOOK and keep your eyes on the ball,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43REACH out to catch the ball,
0:03:43 > 0:03:45and SQUEEZE it in.

0:03:51 > 0:03:52Excellent, well done.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55OK, now we're going to challenge ourselves
0:03:55 > 0:03:59by using some different-shaped balls. Grab yourself a ball!
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Yes!
0:04:00 > 0:04:02No!
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Look! Don't do it so high...

0:04:20 > 0:04:22Cup ready to protect...
0:04:22 > 0:04:23She's looking ready...
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Look, reach, squeeze!
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Great catching, Pickles! You're brilliant at it!
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Thanks, Benny.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35But I've not always been good at catching.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Do you remember the day I had a catching disaster?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43So, welcome to Pupton Park,
0:04:43 > 0:04:46where the Footy Pups are getting ready
0:04:46 > 0:04:48for today's football fun.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Rup, rup!
0:05:02 > 0:05:06And it looks like team manager Freddie's got some important news.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Listen up, folks.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11I want you to practise some catching today,
0:05:11 > 0:05:12with young Pickles in goal.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Great! Better get my gloves on.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19But I'm afraid I won't be able to join in.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I've promised to help the cheerfleaders
0:05:21 > 0:05:24with a new, very special dance routine. Ooh!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27CHEERFLEADERS: Freddie, Freddie, he's our flea!
0:05:27 > 0:05:32He can help us, watch and see! # Go, go, go! #
0:05:33 > 0:05:35FREDDIE: Have fun! No!
0:05:35 > 0:05:36CRASH!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Come on, pups. It's playtime!
0:05:39 > 0:05:40ALL: Rup, rup!
0:05:42 > 0:05:43I'll just get my gloves.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Oh! My lucky gloves!
0:05:48 > 0:05:50HE GROANS: Oh, no!
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Oh, what a shocker for the young goalie!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Those gloves have definitely seen better days.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Hee-hee!
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Oh! Come on, Pickles, you can catch my ball first.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09I don't think I can play today.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13But you LOVE catching the ball!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15It's my lucky goalkeeper gloves.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19I've used them so much they've totally worn out.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Oh, they can't be that bad!
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Oh!
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Or...maybe they can.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Oh, well. You'll just have to play without them.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33BOING! BOING!
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Oh!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37But you don't understand...
0:06:37 > 0:06:40I can't catch without my lucky gloves.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43And if I can't catch, I can't be a goalkeeper any more.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Hmm... We need a puppy plan!
0:06:47 > 0:06:50If Pickles can't use his old gloves any more
0:06:50 > 0:06:55then maybe we can find him some new ones!
0:06:55 > 0:06:57So what are we waiting for?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I smell a game of fetch!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01ALL: Rup, rup! Woof!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Poor Pickles, you have to feel for the pup.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Now what are Freddie and the cheerfleaders up to?
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Ooh!
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Are you sure I don't look daft?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Not at all, Freddie. You look great!
0:07:13 > 0:07:15And you'll look even better
0:07:15 > 0:07:19at the top of our Leaning Tower of Fleazer! Ha-ha!
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Leaning tower of what?!
0:07:22 > 0:07:24BOING! BOING!
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Ha-ha! Looks like Freddie's got his hands full there.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29And speaking of hands,
0:07:29 > 0:07:33let's see how the pups are doing finding new gloves for Pickles.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Are you sure these boxing gloves will work?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38There's only one way to find out.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Ready?
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Catch!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Ooh!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47CRASH! Oh!
0:07:47 > 0:07:48ALL: Whoa!
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Great swirling skills from the cheerfleaders there.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Now THAT'S working as a team!
0:07:56 > 0:08:01Maybe you'll have more luck with these old gardening gloves.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02INSECTS BUZZ
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Poo-ee! They're really stinky, Rozzie.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Oh! Oh!
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Maybe Rex has a better plan.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Du-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh!
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Time to try my oven gloves.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Ha!
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Ohhh!
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Oh, they're too slippy!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Never mind, Pickles, try these instead.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31THROWS VOICE: But we're glove puppets,
0:08:31 > 0:08:33we're not made for catching balls.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36No, we're not, but we're lots of fun!
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Oh!
0:08:44 > 0:08:48So much fun, I've forgotten what we're supposed to be doing.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52Oh, what a howler. None of these gloves work.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Thanks for trying, everyone, but I'll never be able to catch again
0:08:57 > 0:08:59without my lucky gloves.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01HE WHINES
0:09:01 > 0:09:02ALL: Oh!
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Poor Pickles.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Yes, you've got to feel for the young keeper there.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Let's hope he can bounce back.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Hold on, what's this?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15ALL: Ohhh.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Wow, wah, woh!
0:09:17 > 0:09:20The cheerfleaders are ready for their big routine.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22But I wonder if Freddie is.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25I've never been this high up before.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Oh, dear, he's not looking too confident there.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Stop wobbling the tower. I cannae help it,
0:09:31 > 0:09:32my knees are a knockin'.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35ALL: CAREFUL, FREDDIE!
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Help!
0:09:37 > 0:09:41The manager's taken a dive! Huh? Oh, no!
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Wahh!
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Gotcha!
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Oh, extraordinary catch! My word, that plucky pup's really
0:09:48 > 0:09:50outdone himself there.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53You saved me, laddie!
0:09:53 > 0:09:55ALL: # Pickles is the pup everyone loves
0:09:55 > 0:09:59# He caught Freddie without his gloves! #
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Go, go, go, Pickles!
0:10:02 > 0:10:05CHEERING
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Oh, that was a really brilliant catch, Pickles.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Thanks. And you did it with just your puppy paws.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Oh, yeah, I did, didn't I?
0:10:18 > 0:10:23Maybe I don't need my lucky gloves, after all.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Course you don't.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Hey, Pickles, try catching this one.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30HE BARKS
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Catch mine! And mine!
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Don't forget mine.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39So, with goalkeeper Pickles back to his best, I wonder if there's
0:10:39 > 0:10:43enough time on the clock for Freddie to rejoin the cheerfleaders.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47What? No way, are you kidding me on? You'll never catch me
0:10:47 > 0:10:48climbing up there again.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51If I was meant to fly, I would have wings.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Ha-ha, no! I think it's all over!
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Catch, Pickles. Ha-ha, I'm pleased we have you in goal,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00with your trusty puppy paws.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Hi, Benny. Hi, Pickles. BOTH: Hi, Rachel.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Great catching, by the way. Can I join in?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Oh, yes. But you won't be needing those to catch.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Oh, silly me.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Do you guys at home remember how to catch?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15WHISTLE
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Remember to look.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Reach out.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25And squeeze the ball in.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29CHEERING AND BARKING
0:11:29 > 0:11:30OK, guys, it's game time!
0:11:30 > 0:11:33CHEERING
0:11:33 > 0:11:35So, I've split you up into two teams.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37We've got the Foxes. Give me a grrr!
0:11:37 > 0:11:39ALL: Grrr!
0:11:39 > 0:11:43And we've got the Rabbits. Give me a bounce, Rabbits.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44Boing, boing, boing.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48OK, let's take a look at Benny and Pickles, to see how to play.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Come and have a look.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Each team will have a chance to throw and catch the balls.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58The aim of this game is to catch as many balls as you can,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01without letting them in the dens.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Ha-ha. When you catch a ball, pop it in the purple bucket.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08WHISTLE
0:12:08 > 0:12:11At half-time, Foxes and Rabbits swap sides,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14and it's the other team's turn to catch.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18The winners of this game will be the team to catch the most balls.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Yeah!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Three, two, one...
0:12:21 > 0:12:22WHISTLE
0:12:22 > 0:12:25A big stretch and catch from Kush.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30But Leylan can't wait for Alan to throw the next ball.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32And it's a great catch!
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Too high from Isis.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Woo-hoo! That's the sound of a happy Fox.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Sensational catch from Bansi. Yay! Yay, indeed.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Good... Oh, excellent. Look, reach, squeeze,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50and a point... And another one, Rachel.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53These points are coming thick and fast now for the Foxes.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Oh! Unlucky, Leylan.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01There's not long left now.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02And...
0:13:02 > 0:13:05WHISTLE Fine, stop there, stand still.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09It's half-time. Save me an orange, please.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Let's see some replays.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14The Rabbits aimed high.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16And low.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20But the Foxes covered their dens brilliantly...
0:13:20 > 0:13:24catching a total of 14 balls. Yeah! Wow!
0:13:25 > 0:13:27It's the second half.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Foxes, it's your turn to score the goals.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Rabbits, it's your turn to save them. Are we ready on the whistle?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Go! And we're off!
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Good... Oh. Good catch from Jessica.
0:13:38 > 0:13:44Oh, nearly, Alan. Kush takes aim. Good, great catch, Isis.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46And there's another happy bunny.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Fantastic. Good save, Jessica.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Oh, an unlucky miss for Isis. Ha-ha.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54And time is running out.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58With the clock ticking, can the Rabbits beat the Foxes' 14 catches?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Reach, squeeze. Pop it in, Jessica, ready for the next one.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04It's going to be tight. But it's all to play for.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08And... WHISTLE
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Time. Stop there.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Time for a replay. The Bunnies bounced into action,
0:14:14 > 0:14:17but will they be hoppy with the final score?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Over to Benny and Pickles.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22The Rabbits caught an excellent eight balls.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26But today's Woodland Winners are the Foxes, with 14 balls.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28CHEERING
0:14:28 > 0:14:30WOOF, WOOF!
0:14:30 > 0:14:34My team today have been confident at catching.
