0:01:07 > 0:01:08ALL: Yay!
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Today on my team, we have...

0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Yay!- Whoohoo!
0:01:50 > 0:01:52And that's today's team.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56OK, guys, gather round, it's team talk time!
0:01:56 > 0:01:58ALL: Yay!
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Today, we're going to be looking at possession.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Who knows what possession means? Demi?
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- Owning your toys.- Owning your toys, well done. Anybody else? Caden?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- You can possess your football. - That's right.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12In football,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16possession means keeping the ball away from the other team.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19So there are three main things we need to remember
0:02:19 > 0:02:21to try and keep possession.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23We need to control the ball,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26we need to look where the space is,
0:02:26 > 0:02:28and then we need to move into it.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Can you guys do that with me? - ALL: Yes!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Let's control the ball.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Look where the space is.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37And move into it.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Each of you has a football,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44and you need to try and keep possession of your ball,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47because I'm going to try and pinch it off you!
0:02:47 > 0:02:51That's it, look where the space is, can you move into it?
0:02:51 > 0:02:52Fantastic dribbling!
0:02:52 > 0:02:54I'm going to get one!
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Oh, great skills!
0:02:55 > 0:02:57I couldn't even get that ball!
0:02:57 > 0:03:01These guys are really showing off their possession skills.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Aaargh! Ah-ha, nearly got you!
0:03:04 > 0:03:07I can't get any of you, you're keeping such good possession!
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I agree, Rachel, they're really good at this.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13You need to try just a little bit harder.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Oh, I got it, I got it! Ha-ha!
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Well done, Rachel. - Oh!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Whilst these guys keep practising, here's a reminder for you.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22WHISTLE BLOWS
0:03:22 > 0:03:27Keeping possession of the ball as a team is really important.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29You need to control the ball,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32look where the space is,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35and move the ball into the space.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I'm going to challenge you to keep possession as a team.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42You're going to pass the ball to each other,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45and I'm going to try and come in and pinch it.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Have a look.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Who can you move the ball to?
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Well done!
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Oh, nicely done!
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Look where the space is! That's it, pass that ball.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01These Pups are great at keeping possession.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04You've got to be ready, watching, looking.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Watch your back, Rachel!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Great passing!
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Ooh... Ah-ha! I got it, I got it! I kept possession! Yes!
0:04:11 > 0:04:16About time, too, Rachel, because this team's amazing!
0:04:16 > 0:04:19You're so good at keeping possession of the ball, Rex.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Ha-ha-ha! Thanks, Benny. It takes a lot of practice.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Hey, do you remember that time we played Prickleswich Town?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Ha-ha! Oh, yes!
0:04:31 > 0:04:34It's a lovely, peaceful morning here at Pupton Park.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38SQUEAKING Oh, it sounds like somebody's found a new toy!
0:04:38 > 0:04:39SQUEAKING
0:04:39 > 0:04:45- Ha-ha!- Nice ball, Rex!- Ha-ha! Isn't it brilliant? It's really bouncy!
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Oof!
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Ha-ha! And best of all, it makes this noise when I chew it!
0:04:50 > 0:04:51SQUEAKING
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I'm going to call it Mr Squeaky!
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- THEY LAUGH - Mr Squeaky!
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Huddle up, Pups. Our hedgehog friends Prickleswich Town are here,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03so it's time to talk tactics.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Now, today's game won't be easy, because the Prickleswich team
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- are very good at keeping hold of the ball.- Yeah!
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- We can never get near it because of their prickles.- Did you say...
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Prickles?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Ooh-hoo-hoo!
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Aah! - BALLS POP
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Oops!
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Oh, they're popping all of our footballs!
0:05:25 > 0:05:27They might pop Mr Squeaky, too.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Maybe Mr Squeaky would be safer if you kept him in your locker?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Aah, no way, Rozzie! He's scared of the dark.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37The only way I'll stop Mr Squeaky being popped
0:05:37 > 0:05:39is to keep him as close as possible.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41SQUEAKING
0:05:42 > 0:05:43WHISTLE BLOWS
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Ooh! Hoo-hoo!
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Stick with me, Mr Squeaky - I'll keep you safe.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Oh!
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Don't worry, I'll get it!
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Oh...
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Ooh... Whoa! Oof!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Oh, Freddie was right!
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Prickleswich are possession experts. Aww!
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Ooh!
0:06:01 > 0:06:04No, I can't get hold of the ball!
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Ohh-oooh!
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Ooh!
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Allay-up!
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Hup! Hup!
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I can't get near the ball!
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Don't worry, Mr Squeaky. You'll be safe down this end of the pitch.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Aah!
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Hoo-hoo-hoo!
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Oh, no! Hide!
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Aaargh!
0:06:23 > 0:06:25AIR BLOWS OUT
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Oops!
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Phew! That was too close, Mr Squeaky!
0:06:28 > 0:06:32I've got to find somewhere else to keep you safe.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Oh...
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Footballs don't grow on trees, you know.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Please be careful with this one!
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Hoo-hoo!- Come on, Pups, let's win that ball back.
0:06:42 > 0:06:48There you go, Mr Squeaky. This clever disguise will keep you safe.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49WHISTLE BLOWS
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Whoohoo!- Hee-hee!
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Allay-up!- Huh?
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Oh, and Geraldine snatches possession for the Footy Pups.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Now Prickleswich...
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- Geraldine again... - Whoohoo!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Prickleswich, Geraldine, Prickleswich...
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Huh... Huh... Huh!
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I've got to keep those hedgehogs away!
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Don't move, Mr Squeaky!
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Haaaah!
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Oh, bones, look out!
0:07:16 > 0:07:17SQUEAKING
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Ho-ho! Great header, laddie!
0:07:19 > 0:07:20SQUEAKING
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Who IS that?
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Urgh!
0:07:25 > 0:07:27AIR BLOWS OUT
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Sorry!
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Oh, double bones!
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Farewell, my last little football.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Please be careful, Pups!
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I don't know what we'll do if this one gets prickled.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Don't worry, Freddie, we'll keep hold of it.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45ALL: Go Pups!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Rex, why are you wearing a backpack?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Oh, no reason.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50SQUEAKING
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Hee-hee-hee!
0:07:53 > 0:07:54It's the second half,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57and Prickleswich Town have possession of the ball.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Oh!- We'll never get past those prickles!
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Don't worry, Mr Squeaky, I can keep an eye on you here.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Mr Squeaky, are you still there?
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Aah!
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Look out, Rex!
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Hold tight, Mr Squeaky!
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Whoa!
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Aah... Ooh! Whoo!
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- Huh?- Ha!
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I'll keep those prickly hedgehogs away from you.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Rex shoots to score, and...- Ah!
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- Oh, no!- Ohhh...
0:08:22 > 0:08:27Oh, this is a disaster! That was my last ball.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Now we've got nothing left to play with. We'll have to stop the match.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33ALL: Ohh...
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Did you hear that, Mr Squeaky?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38If I keep hold of you, there'll be no game,
0:08:38 > 0:08:41and everyone will lose.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42SQUEAKING
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Don't worry, the game's not over -
0:08:44 > 0:08:47we can use my ball instead.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50But, Rex, it might get burst on the prickles.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54We'll have to make sure Prickleswich don't get the ball, then!
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Sounds like a puppy plan! He-hey! Woohoo!
0:08:58 > 0:08:59As we return to the match,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02the Pups kick off with a special new ball.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Good luck, little friend.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05WHISTLE BLOWS
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Stop those hedgehogs!
0:09:07 > 0:09:08You got it, Rex!
0:09:08 > 0:09:10And don't let Mr Squeaky get muddy!
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Allay-up!- Huh?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Mind those prickles, Rozzie!
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Will do! Ha-uh!- Ooh!
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Perfect possession by the Pups.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22But what's this?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Prickleswich Town are rolling into balls.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28It's a classic hedgehog defence tactic.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Oh, no, we're surrounded!
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Sorry, Mr Squeaky, but only you can save us now.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Ready?
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Now!
0:09:37 > 0:09:39After their ball!
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Oh, bones!
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Uh-oh!
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Oh!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Mr Squeaky? Mr Squeaky?!
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Oh...he must have popped.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52SQUEAKING
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- HE GASPS - Mr Squeaky!
0:09:54 > 0:09:55You're safe!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Not only that, he scored the winning goal!
0:09:58 > 0:10:00ALL: Bow-wow!
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Ha-ha-ha!
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Well done, Rex, you've saved your ball and the match!
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Whoohoo-hoo! Whee! Ho-ho! Ha-ha!
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Possession is the perfect skill to use
0:10:10 > 0:10:13# If you keep the ball close, you just can't lose!
0:10:13 > 0:10:15# Go, go go...
0:10:15 > 0:10:16# Footy Pups! #
0:10:16 > 0:10:18And Mr Squeaky!
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Yay!
0:10:19 > 0:10:21THEY ALL LAUGH
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Thanks for a great game, Footy Pups. Sorry we popped your balls.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26We brought you a present!
0:10:26 > 0:10:31Oh, a puncture repair kit! That'll come in handy, won't it, Rex?
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Rex?
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Arrrgh...
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Mr Squeaky, you're so chewy!
0:10:36 > 0:10:38BALL POPS
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Oh, Rex. We'd better fix your ball first.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44THEY LAUGH
0:10:45 > 0:10:49That was such a prickly match, wasn't it, Rex?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Er, Benny... Don't mention...prickles.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Mr Squeaky still gets nervous.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56SQUEAKING
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Oh, ha-ha!
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Hi, guys!
0:10:59 > 0:11:00Rex, pass that ball over here.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Whaaa! Rachel!
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Er...
0:11:03 > 0:11:04What did I do?
0:11:04 > 0:11:09Ha-ha. Don't worry, Rachel. I think Rex just noticed your prickly hair.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Oh. At least that's one way for Rex to keep possession of the ball.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Do you guys remember how to keep possession?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Control the ball,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22look where the space is,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25and move the ball into the space.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- OK, guys, do you fancy a game? - ALL: Yes!
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Fantastic. So, I've split you up into two teams.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36We've got the cool Blues - give me a cheer.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37THEY CHEER
0:11:37 > 0:11:40And the awesome Oranges - give me a cheer.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41- THEY CHEER - Nice.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46Let's take a look with the Footy Pups to find out how to play.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49To play this game, you have to work as a team.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53The first team needs to keep possession of the ball
0:11:53 > 0:11:54by passing it to each other.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58When the whistle blows, a player from the other team runs in,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- tries to take possession of the ball...- Ha-ha!
0:12:01 > 0:12:03..and score a goal.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04- Bow-wow!- Yeah!
0:12:04 > 0:12:08On the second whistle, that player runs back to their team-mates,
0:12:08 > 0:12:10high-fives, and the next player runs in.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14At half-time, the teams swap places and start again.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18The winners of this game will be the team who win possession
0:12:18 > 0:12:20and score the most goals.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Three, two, one...
0:12:22 > 0:12:24WHISTLE BLOWS They're off!
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- Remember, Blues are trying to keep possession.- Yeah!
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Oh, fancy footwork there from Caden.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Remember to control.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Look where the space is and move into it!
0:12:35 > 0:12:37That's right, Rachel.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Caden passes to Max,
