0:00:02 > 0:00:03The crowd are going wild.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Here come the Footy Pups.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09# They play like a dream
0:00:09 > 0:00:11# When they work as a team
0:00:11 > 0:00:14# Footy Pups, go, go, Footy Pups
0:00:14 > 0:00:19# There's Pickles and Rex and Geraldine next
0:00:19 > 0:00:22# Footy Pups, go, go, Footy Pups
0:00:22 > 0:00:24# Rozzie and Benny
0:00:24 > 0:00:26# And Manager Freddie
0:00:26 > 0:00:30# Footy Pups, go, go, Footy Pups
0:00:30 > 0:00:31# There's Rachel too
0:00:31 > 0:00:34# And, of course, all of you
0:00:34 > 0:00:37# Footy Pups, go, go, Footy Pups
0:00:38 > 0:00:41# Go, go, go, go, Footy Pups. #
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Rachel Yankey, top international footballer
0:00:48 > 0:00:51and all-round sporting superstar.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54But when Rachel's not scoring goals for her team,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57she's playing with the Footy Pups.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hi, everyone, we're all warmed up, so it's time to get moving.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Today on my team we have...
0:01:12 > 0:01:14..Alfie...
0:01:18 > 0:01:20..Ria...
0:01:24 > 0:01:26..Irfan...
0:01:31 > 0:01:32..Amy...
0:01:36 > 0:01:38..Ronnie....
0:01:43 > 0:01:45..Emily...
0:01:46 > 0:01:50..and also joining us are Footy Pups, Rex and Benny.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54And that's today's team.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58OK, guys, gather round, it's team-talk time.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Today we're going to be looking at finding a space.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Does anyone know what finding a space means?
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- Fantastic, Alfie? - It means no-one's surrounding you.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13Well done. And where on the football pitch might we need to find a space?
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Ronnie.- When you have the ball. - Well done. Emily?- Everywhere.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21That's right, we should try to find a space everywhere.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24There are three main things that we need to remember
0:02:24 > 0:02:26when trying to find a space.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28We need to look...
0:02:28 > 0:02:29to find the space,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31we need to move into the space
0:02:31 > 0:02:34and we need to check that we're in a space.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Look to find your space,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39move into your space
0:02:39 > 0:02:43and then check that you're still in a space.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46OK, guys, let's go and have a practice.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51You've each got a hoop. This is your own space.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55You need to run around and keep moving into a space where
0:02:55 > 0:02:56no-one else is.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Off you go.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01That's it, try and find that space.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Remember to move forwards or backwards or zigzagging.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08These two look like they're dancing.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Imagine you've got a ball, I'm a defender coming towards you.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Well done, Ronnie, find some space.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Look around you because you never know,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19someone might be coming into your space.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Keep checking. Ah-ha-ha!
0:03:21 > 0:03:24She nearly got you there, Ronnie. Ha-ha!
0:03:26 > 0:03:31Whilst these guys keep practising, here's a reminder for you at home.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Remember to look for a space...
0:03:35 > 0:03:37move into it...
0:03:37 > 0:03:40and check that you're still in a space.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I've paired you up.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47One person is going to keep moving to find a space,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50the other person is going to try and follow them.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Off you go. Try and look for that space.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Dodge your partner. Move to get away from them.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Well done, Amy.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Pretend to go one way and move the other.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08Try and mirror your partner's movement. Don't let them past you.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Oh, Alfie's got past there.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Don't make the first move.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Great finding space, Amy.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27Ronnie's looking for the space. Brilliant move.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Oh, you're so good at finding a space, Benny.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Thanks, Rex. It takes a lot of practice.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38- Do you remember the time we played Spottingham Forest?- Oh, yeah.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43It's a stormy day here at Pupton Park,
0:04:43 > 0:04:46so everyone is playing inside.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Whee-hee!- Whoohoo!
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Cheer-fleaders, what's this doing here?
0:04:52 > 0:04:56It's part of our amazing flea-saw routine.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58It's too stormy to be outside...
0:04:58 > 0:05:01So we thought we'd perform it in here.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Whee!
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Sorry, but you can't right now, our match is about to start
0:05:06 > 0:05:09and there's not enough space.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10See?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I wonder if playing football
0:05:14 > 0:05:17indoors will be any different to playing outdoors.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18I hope not, Rozzie,
0:05:18 > 0:05:23we need to concentrate on our match against Spottingham Forest.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Those cheeky cheetahs are always tricky to beat.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29THEY LAUGH Right, huddle up, pups.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Come on, Rex.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Oh, sorry, I didn't hear you.
0:05:36 > 0:05:42Rex, you're supposed to wear socks on your feet, not your ears.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47It's to block out the noisy thunder. I'm scared of loud noises.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Time to talk tactics.- See?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Freddie, why are you wearing a helmet?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Are you scared of thunder too?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57No, lad, it's to protect me from flying footballs.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Our indoor pitch is much smaller than our grass pitch,
0:06:00 > 0:06:04so today's match will be much faster than usual.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Oh!
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Sorry! That was me.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13Play carefully, pups, and, remember, use the space around you wisely.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18- Did you get all that, Rex? - Not a word!
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Playing on a smaller pitch could prove a challenge for the pups
0:06:22 > 0:06:25in today's match against speedy Spottingham Forest.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28THUNDER CRACKS REX WHIMPERS
0:06:28 > 0:06:29WHISTLE BLOWS
0:06:32 > 0:06:35That was close! Rex, what are you doing?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Shh! I'm hiding from the thunder.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Hey!
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Going somewhere?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Oh, that was close.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Great use of space by Spottingham Forest there.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Boing-boing.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I've got you cornered.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Not for long! Meow!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Oh!
0:07:04 > 0:07:08This locker room is perfect for our flea-saw routine.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Hang on, I'm not sure there's enough space.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Argh!
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Whee!
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Argh!
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Yuck!
0:07:20 > 0:07:24The Cheer-fleaders aren't the only ones struggling to find a space.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27The pups are also feeling the squeeze.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Look out, Geraldine.- Alley-whoops!
0:07:30 > 0:07:35- Sorry, Pickles.- What a howler. You can't swing a cat in here.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Not true.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Got it!
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Oh, sorry, Benny, I thought you were a cheetah.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Ha-ha, ha!
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Och, this is a disaster.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51And where's Rex gone now?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I'm just waiting for the thunder to stop.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Oh, dear, I hope the Cheer-fleaders are having more luck.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Maybe they could find a bigger space in the clubhouse.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04There must be enough space for our flea-saw in here.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05I hope you're right.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Argh!
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Oh!
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Yay, we scored!
0:08:14 > 0:08:17But we've still not done our flea-saw trick.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I still can't get the ball.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Sorry, Benny, this match is moving too fast.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Then I'm going to have to move even faster.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Ha-ha! Got it! Now for a goal.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Oh, sorry, Benny, I think
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- you might be at the wrong end of the pitch.- Ha-ha!
0:08:38 > 0:08:42It's a goal to Spottingham Forest.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44And, at half-time, they're leading 1-0.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49Cheer-fleaders, I thought you'd be getting ready for your routine.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Sorry, Freddie, there won't be a routine today.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- We can't find any space to perform in.- But it's half-time.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59There's plenty of space on the pitch now.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01This match is too squashed up.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Every time I get the ball,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I either get tackled or bump into someone.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- I'll never score today.- Look!
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Has the thunder stopped?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Whee! Our flea-saw trick is really ace,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16we made it work cos we found some space.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Bow-wow! That's given me an idea.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Instead of just racing after the ball,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24we should look at where we are on the pitch.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26If we concentrate on finding a space...
0:09:26 > 0:09:29..then we'll have room to pass and shoot...
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- ..without bumping into anyone... - ..or being tackled.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Sounds like a puppy plan.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Go, pups!
0:09:38 > 0:09:40WHISTLE BLOWS
0:09:40 > 0:09:41Oh...
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Oh!
0:09:43 > 0:09:47- Whee!- I found some space, Benny. - Not for long.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Alley-whoop.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Oh.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- To you, Rozzie.- I found a space too, but I smell trouble.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Your turn to find a space, Rex.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Huh?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- THUNDER CRACKS - Waargh!
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Thanks, Rex. Now I've got some room to shoot. Rozzie, to me.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Oh, phooey.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Oh!- Ah!
0:10:11 > 0:10:13BENNY BARKS
0:10:13 > 0:10:14What a fantastic goal.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17It looks like Benny found the perfect space
0:10:17 > 0:10:20at the back of the net, making the match a draw.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22# Here's a trick that beats them all
0:10:22 > 0:10:24# Find a space and pass the ball
0:10:24 > 0:10:27# Go, go, go
0:10:27 > 0:10:28# Footy Pups! #
0:10:28 > 0:10:30THEY CHEER
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Hey, hey! - FREDDIE HUMS A TUNE
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Well done, Pups. But where's Rex?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Up here! I've found a space, too.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44It's all right, lad. The thunder's gone. You can come down now.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Thanks, Freddie.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47Woohoo!
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Eh?
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Aargh!
0:10:50 > 0:10:53It's a good job I wore my helmet!
0:10:53 > 0:10:55THEY LAUGH
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Rex, what are you doing?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Move back. We're meant to be practising finding a space.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Oh? Oh! Oh, yeah.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Sorry, Benny.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Hi, Benny. Hi, Rex.- Huh?- Eh?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Benny, Rex, I'm over here.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Rachel, what are you doing all the way back there?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I've found a space and I'm staying in it.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Don't worry, we'll come to you.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Oh, man. Now I've got to find a new space.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Do you guys remember how to find a space?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37When finding a space, remember to look for where the space is,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39move into it
0:11:39 > 0:11:42and check that you're still in a space.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- OK, guys, who fancies a game? - CHEERING
0:11:48 > 0:11:50So, I split you up into two teams.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54We've got the aliens. Give me your best alien impression.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56THEY MAKE ALIEN SOUNDS
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Fantastic. And we've got the astronauts.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Astronauts, give me your best astronaut walk.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Oh, check that out.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Let's take a look with the Footy Pups
0:12:06 > 0:12:08to find out how to play.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11To play this game, you need to think one step ahead.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- WHISTLE - When the whistle blows,
0:12:13 > 0:12:16one astronaut must run towards the opposite planets.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Once they cross the centre line, one of the aliens will run forward
0:12:20 > 0:12:22and try to block an astronaut.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26The astronaut must keep moving to dodge around the alien,
0:12:26 > 0:12:29looking and checking for space.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Once they get to the planet,
0:12:31 > 0:12:32the second astronaut begins
0:12:32 > 0:12:34and the game starts again.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38The winners of this game will be the team who get their players
0:12:38 > 0:12:42to the opposite planets in the fastest time.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Guys, are we ready to play? - ALL: Yeah!
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- Three, two, one... - WHISTLE
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Yeah!
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Speedy start from Emily.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Look for a space.- She goes right.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- THEY CHANT:- Emily! Emily!
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Can she get past?
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Yes, she lands.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Irfan's on the move.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03This astronaut means business.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05He's searching for a space.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Keep looking.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08He's firing on all cylinders.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Find a space, Irfan!
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Great encouragement there.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15And he's crash landed.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Ronnie sets off. He's on a mission.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Can he take one small step on that planet's surface?
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Yes.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24And that's the end of a terrific first half.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Whilst the teams get their energy back
0:13:27 > 0:13:30with some intergalactic oranges, let's have a replay.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35The astronauts rocketed towards the aliens,
0:13:35 > 0:13:39finding space and landing perfectly on their planets.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- Three, two, one... - WHISTLE
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Blastoff for the second half,
0:13:45 > 0:13:47and who's going to make the first move?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Keep looking. See if you can get to that planet.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- That was fast.- Next two.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Steady as she goes.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Astronaut Irfan gets set, cos this alien's on the attack.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Go on, Amy!
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- Oh, so which planet is she going to go for?- Try and look.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Fantastic, Amy. You got to the planet. Well done.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Ria races into space and it's the final countdown.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Can she get through?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Keep dodging.- Come on, Rhea.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18And she touches down.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20And time.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Let's have a replay.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26The aliens successfully invaded the astronauts' space, looking and
0:14:26 > 0:14:30moving all the time, but which team landed on the planets the fastest?
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Let's go to Footy Pups Benny and Rex, who have the final result.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37As the astronauts were quicker than the aliens,
0:14:37 > 0:14:41the astronauts are today's out-of-this-world winners.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46My team today have been fantastic at finding a space.
