0:00:02 > 0:00:04The crowd are going wild.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07Here come the Footy Pups.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10# They play like a dream when they work as a team
0:00:10 > 0:00:14# Footy Pups, go, go, Footy Pups

0:00:44 > 0:00:47Rachel Yankey, top international footballer,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50and all-round sporting superstar.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54But when Rachel is not scoring goals for her team,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57she's playing with the Footy Pups.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01LAUGHING AND CHEERING
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hi, everyone, we're all warmed up, so it's time to get moving.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Today on my team we have...
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Number one, Ollie.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Fantastic skills.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Number two, Yasmin.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23That's brilliant.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Number three, Umat.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Super dribbling.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Number four, Emily.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Well done.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Number five, Lexie.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Nice.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Number six, Riley.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Great stuff.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49And joining us are Footy Pups Rex and Benny.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54And that's today's team.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57OK, guys, gather round. It's team talk time.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- Umat, catch!- Yes!
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Good reactions, and that's exactly
0:02:02 > 0:02:04what we're going to be looking at today.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07There are loads of different ways you can react,
0:02:07 > 0:02:12like if someone said..."Boo!" you might jump back in surprise.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Or in football, if someone passed you the ball,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19you might react by stopping it or kicking it away.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23It's really important in football that we react quickly
0:02:23 > 0:02:25so we don't lose the ball to the other team.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29There are three things to remember, so we can react well.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32You need to make sure you're looking...
0:02:32 > 0:02:34listening...
0:02:34 > 0:02:38and ready to move. Looking...
0:02:39 > 0:02:44..listening...and ready to move.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48OK, guys, let's go and have a practice. Off we go.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51So, I've split you into two teams.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54We've got the butterflies and the bumblebees.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57I'm going to call out your team name.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01If I do, you need to run to the cone in front of you.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05If I don't, run to the other side and tag the other team.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- Are we ready? - ALL: Yes!
0:03:07 > 0:03:11So listen, I'm going to go... butterflies!
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Brilliant reacting from the butterflies.- Well done.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Back you come into the middle.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Bumblebees!
0:03:18 > 0:03:23- Oh, these guys are having to think fast.- Butterflies!- Great reacting.
0:03:23 > 0:03:29- Oh, Riley slides.- Bumblebees! - Rachel nearly caught them out there.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Butterflies! Run, run, run!
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Some fantastic reactions from the teams.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Bumblebees. - Great listening and moving.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Butterflies.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Oh, Emily has gone the wrong way.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44OK, let's go, bumblebees!
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Whilst these guys keep practising, here's a reminder for you at home.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53To react well, you need to make sure you're looking...
0:03:53 > 0:03:55listening...
0:03:56 > 0:03:59..and ready to move.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I'm going to challenge you. I want you to run towards me
0:04:03 > 0:04:06and I'll pass the ball in front of one of the goals.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10You need to react quickly to where it goes and try and score a goal.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Are you ready?- Yes!
0:04:13 > 0:04:15OK, Ollie, run towards me.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Great reaction! Can he score?
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Fantastic goal. OK, that's it, Yasmin, run towards me.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- Go on, try and score a goal. - Oh, fantastic, nicely done!
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- Come on, Umat.- Rachel is testing his reaction. She's kicked it backwards.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- Brilliant.- Good reactions. Emily, you're next.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Remember to look, move...
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Come on, Lexie.- She concentrates, she's ready for the ball.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Yes!
0:04:42 > 0:04:45That's it, Riley, you're next. Quickly run towards me.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Benny, you're really good at reacting!- Thanks, Rex.
0:04:48 > 0:04:55- It wasn't so easy for Big Bow Wow, though, was it?- Oh, yeah!
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Welcome to Pupton Park, where animal teams across the land
0:05:01 > 0:05:04are taking part in the Great Mascot Contest.
0:05:04 > 0:05:10- Behold the Footy Pups first-ever mascot.- Bow wow!
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Actually, I call him Big Bow Wow.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- We can enter him in today's mascot contest.- What does a mascot do?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20A mascot's job is to get the crowd to cheer
0:05:20 > 0:05:25and wave for the team, bringing them good luck. See?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30It's a bit difficult to move in this costume.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Maybe some football will get you moving.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Oh, sorry!- Oh, bones.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44I can't believe Flea-yonce is coming to judge the mascot contest.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49- I can't wait to show her my fancy dancing.- Stop showing off, Freddie.
0:05:49 > 0:05:56- Hello, Pupton Park!- Miss Flea-yonce! Thanks for judging today's contest.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Ho-ho! Hey-hey!
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Wow, I hope the mascots can dance as well as you.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04He's doing my jig!
0:06:04 > 0:06:09Flea-yonce, why don't you use my megaphone to start the contest?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Oh!- No need.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16- Flea-yonce can use my microphone instead.- Oh, my. Thank you.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Doh!
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Let's meet the contestants in today's Great Mascot Contest.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29For Baa-rnsley United, it's Woolly Jumper.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33For Spottingham Forest, it's Top Spot.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38And playing for the Footy Pups, it's Big Bow Wow.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47The winning mascot will be the one that gets the biggest cheers.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Starting with my first challenge, running a lap of the pitch
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- while waving to the crowd. - That'll be easy.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Whoa!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Start when you hear the bell. - What bell?
0:07:00 > 0:07:01BELL RINGS
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Impressive start by Woolly Jumper, skipping up the pitch,
0:07:04 > 0:07:08followed closely by Top Spot, snatching cheers on the inside.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Get running!
0:07:13 > 0:07:17As the mascots wave, we cheer hurray!
0:07:17 > 0:07:19The Big Bow Wow will win the...
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Aargh! I can't stop!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Whoa! Oof!
0:07:26 > 0:07:28What a howler.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Top Spot wins the first challenge!
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Never mind, Big Bow Wow, you can win the next one.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39All you have to do is a football trick to make the crowd cheer.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Wow, Hot Spot, that's really neat.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51You're going to need something really special now, Big Bow Wow.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56He's going to do a grand goalkeeping trick - saving four footballs.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- Couldn't we just try with one ball first?- Ready?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Look out!
0:08:05 > 0:08:10He's far too big to run around, and now he's going to hit the ground!
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Whoa!
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Ta-da!
0:08:17 > 0:08:23Sorry, Rex, Big Bow Wow's reactions aren't as good as the other mascots.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26You can't give up, Benny, you're a GREAT mascot.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29But it's hard to see and hear inside this costume,
0:08:29 > 0:08:33and it's so big, I'm too slow and clumsy to react to anything.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38- I look really silly.- But that's what we LOVE about Big Bow Wow.
0:08:38 > 0:08:44- He's the funniest mascot we've ever seen.- Thanks, everyone.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49- So you'll do the final dance challenge?- Sounds like a puppy plan.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51ALL: Go, pups!
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Flea-yonce, I've made you a special wee stage!
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Thank you.- Try mine first.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- Doh! He's done it again! - Wow, thanks.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10OK, mascots, it's time for my special dance-off challenge.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13All you have to do is copy my moves.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18The mascot who gets the biggest cheers will be the winner.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22All I need to do is look, listen and focus.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Let's move to the beat.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32- Go, Big Bow Wow. - Wave to the crowd and jig about.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Now jumping time. And clap.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Look, Freddie, he's doing it.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Rex, responding to someone else can be a great way
0:09:46 > 0:09:47to improve your reactions.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- Go, Big Bow Wow! - Now spin like windmills.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Whoops! Excuse me. Sorry!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Here, where are you all going?
0:10:01 > 0:10:06- Get me off this thing!- My precious tractor's out of control.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09This is a disaster!
0:10:09 > 0:10:14Don't worry, Freddie, leave this to Big Bow Wow.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- Sorry!- Keep copying Flea-yonce!
0:10:18 > 0:10:23Dodge to the left, dodge to the right, jump that ball.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28- Now do the limbo.- Remarkable reactions from the massive mascot.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29THEY GASP
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- SHE SQUEALS - I'll catch you.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38My word, skilful reactions from the big pup, he's caught a falling star.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40My hero.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42THEY CHEER
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Copying Flea-yonce was the magic trick,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49now Bow Wow's reactions are really quick!
0:10:49 > 0:10:53# Go, go, go, Footy Pups! #
0:10:54 > 0:10:58This has been the greatest mascot contest ever.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03For getting the biggest cheer AND saving the day,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06the winner is Big Bow Wow!
0:11:06 > 0:11:08ALL: Bow wow!
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Huh? I won? Hurray!
0:11:12 > 0:11:13Whoops, sorry!
0:11:16 > 0:11:20- Benny, you were great in that Big Bow Wow costume.- Thanks, Rex.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24I'm not sure I could react well in a football match
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- if I wore it all the time, though. - Hi, guys.- Hi, Pickles.
0:11:28 > 0:11:33Whoa! Pickles, you're huge! Have you had a bad reaction to something?
0:11:35 > 0:11:40- Guys, it's me!- Rachel! - What have you done with Pickles?
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Oh, Rex, I had this mascot made so I could look like Pickles.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48I'll be great in goal now. Check out my reactions.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- OK, I'm ready, take a shot. - LAUGHTER
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- Rachel, you've already missed it. - Oops.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Do you guys remember how to be good at reacting?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04To react well, make sure you are looking...
0:12:04 > 0:12:07listening...
0:12:07 > 0:12:09and ready to move.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14OK, guys, who fancies a game?
0:12:14 > 0:12:17So, I've split you up into two teams, we've got
0:12:17 > 0:12:19the butterflies - give me a flutter.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Flutter, flutter, flutter.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23And we've got the bumblebees. Give me a bzzz!
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Bzzz!- Fantastic.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Let's take a look with the Footy Pups to find out how to play.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32To play this game, you need to react quickly.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34When the whistle blows,
0:12:34 > 0:12:38one player will throw the ball backwards over their head.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41The first player from the other team must use their best reactions
0:12:41 > 0:12:46to run forward, trap the ball, control it and aim at the goal.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Once they've taken aim at the goal,
0:12:49 > 0:12:53they must run back to their team, and it's the next team-mate's turn.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58The winner of this game will be the team that scores the most goals.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Three, two, one.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03They're off! A huge throw from Ollie.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Good reactions, Riley.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Great control of the ball.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Try and score a goal.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Yes!- Back to your team-mate.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16High-five them. Make sure you listen for the whistle.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22That's it, look for the ball. Can you score a goal?
0:13:22 > 0:13:27- Lexie means business.- Fantastic goal. Well done.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Ha-ha! Yeah!
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Good throwing, bees.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37Look at the ball control from Umat. Fantastic.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38And time.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43While these guys get their energy back with some half-time
0:13:43 > 0:13:45oranges, let's have a replay.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50Some absolutely amazing reactions from the butterflies, and
0:13:50 > 0:13:55brilliant ball control, but do we think the bumblebees can do better?
0:13:55 > 0:13:59- Let's find out. - OK, three, two, one.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Good throwing. Look where the ball is. Can you score a goal?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Emily lines the ball up.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10She shoots. What a great goal.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- Quickly, high-five your team-mate. - Listen for the whistle.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15WHISTLE BLOWS
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Great looking and moving from Ollie.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22Just over the crossbar, unlucky, Ollie.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Umat throws, takes a look.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Yasmin runs out. Can she score?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Oh, she's hit the post.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- And time.- Let's have a replay.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36The bumblebees reacted and aimed at the goal superbly.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Did they score more than the butterflies?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Let's go to Footy Pups Benny and Rex for the final score.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46The bumblebees scored one goal and the butterflies scored three,
0:14:46 > 0:14:50meaning today's incredible insects are the butterflies.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54My team today have been brilliant at reacting.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57We've reacted as a team, we've reacted individually,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00and we've reacted to balls.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05But most importantly, we remembered to look, listen, and move.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07That's it for today,. Well done!
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Now you've got the skill, remember to pass it on.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11THEY CHEER
