0:00:02 > 0:00:03The crowd are going wild.

0:00:46 > 0:00:51top international footballer and 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.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01CHEERING
0:01:01 > 0:01:07Hi, everyone. We're all warmed up so it's time to get moving.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09CHEERING
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Today on my team we have number one - Florence.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Brilliant.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Number two - Noah.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Super dribbling.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Number three - Raheel.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Well done.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Number four - Siena.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Fantastic skills.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Number five - Paris.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Yeah, love that.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Amazing.
0:01:46 > 0:01:52And also joining us are Footy Pups Benny and Pickles.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54And that's today's team.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58OK, guys, gather round. It's team talk time.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Today, we're going to be looking at formation.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06Does anyone know what formation in football means?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Siena?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11It's where you and your team mates stand on the pitch.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Well done, Siena.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16A formation is arranging players on the pitch.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19The coach will arrange the players into a formation
0:02:19 > 0:02:22they think will help the team play their best.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26There are three main things to remember when you're in a formation.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29You need to look around you,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31think how you can help the team
0:02:31 > 0:02:34and move to help them out.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36We need to look around you,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39think about how we can help the team
0:02:39 > 0:02:42and move to help them out.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- Let's go and have a practice. - CHEERING
0:02:46 > 0:02:48When we're playing a five-a-side game,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51there are formations the coach might put us in.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Things like the square, the triangle, the diamond
0:02:55 > 0:02:58or even the Y formation.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02We always put the goalie in goal so let's put Pickles here.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Now, who wants to show me the square formation?
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Florence?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Florence looks determined.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- Fantastic work, Florence. - What a super square formation.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Two defenders nearest the goal and two attackers up front.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Erin, can you show me the triangle formation?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Great formation building, there.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- So there's our triangle formation. - Excellent.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Two defenders of the back, Rex in midfield and Benny attacking.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Noah, show me the diamond formation.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Well done, Noah. There's our diamond formation.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Fantastic. One defender, two wingers and one striker.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46Whilst these guys keep practising, here's a reminder for you at home.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Remember to look around you,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51think about how you can help your team-mates
0:03:51 > 0:03:53and move to help them.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I've got a big dice here.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I'm going to roll it and, whatever shape comes up,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02I want you to form that shape
0:04:02 > 0:04:06by stretching out your arms and holding hands.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Off you go.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09It's a triangle.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Siena has a think.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Make sure you hold hands.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Well done, guys. Really good triangles.- Indeed, Rachel.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- Get into a square formation. - Wow, they're really quick at this.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26- Make your arms like corners. - Sensational square.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28It's a star. Ooh, that's a complicated one.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- Where do you think you need to be? - Raheel knows.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Excellent.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38I love being in a formation. It really helps us play better.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Doesn't it, Pickles? - You're right, Benny!
0:04:41 > 0:04:44But you weren't very good at staying in formation
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- when we played Kittyminster. - Oh, yes!
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Welcome to Pupton Park, where the Pups are playing a cup final
0:04:53 > 0:04:55against archrivals Kittyminster.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Those kitties always win the cup but not this time
0:04:59 > 0:05:04because today we're going to play in diamond formation.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05- ALL:- Cool.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07What's a formation?
0:05:07 > 0:05:11It's the shape we make as a team when we move up and down the pitch.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Staying in formation will help us win the ball and score goals.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Aye, so let's go through your positions.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Pickles, you'll be in goal.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Geraldine, you'll be at the bottom of our diamond in defence here.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Got it!
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Rex and Rossie, you'll be here in the middle of our diamond.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Yeah, we're the pointy bits.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32And, Benny, you'll be here
0:05:32 > 0:05:34trying to score goals at the top of our diamond.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39- Sounds like a puppy plan! - With this cunning formation,
0:05:39 > 0:05:43we can score goals and defend at the same time.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- HE BARKS - The cats are here!
0:05:45 > 0:05:47THEY MEOW
0:05:47 > 0:05:48DOGS BARK
0:05:50 > 0:05:54I'd forgotten how yappy dogs get around cats!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59My word, I hope the Pups aren't too excited
0:05:59 > 0:06:01to remember Freddy's formation plan.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Looks like the cheer-fleaders have competition.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07The cats have their own fleas to cheer them on.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12We'll show those Kittyminster cheer-fleaders. One, two, flea!
0:06:12 > 0:06:14# We love dogs They're really quick
0:06:14 > 0:06:17# Especially when they chase a stick! #
0:06:17 > 0:06:19# Cats aren't bad They've got soft fur
0:06:19 > 0:06:23# Stroke their backs and make them purr! #
0:06:23 > 0:06:27They're copying us. We'll have to chant extra loud.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Go! Go! Go! Footy Pups!
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Go! Go! Go! Kitty Cats!
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Yay!
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Wow, that's loud. With moments before kick-off,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41there's just time for the team managers to shake hands.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Great to see you, Freddy.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46It's always a pleasure coming here to win a football match.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- Isn't that right, team? - Meow! Yes, it is!
0:06:50 > 0:06:53I wouldn't be so sure you're going to win this one, Eddy.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55We've got a top-secret plan!
0:06:55 > 0:06:59You can tell me all about it when my kitties are lifting the cup.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Oh! Cat fleas are so annoying.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05It's kick-off here on the pitch
0:07:05 > 0:07:09and Kittyminster are moving into a square formation.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Oh, no! Your copy cats are playing in formation.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Shame your Pups aren't.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Oh, dear. Looks like the Pups have ditched their diamond shape
0:07:18 > 0:07:20and are running in circles.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Your ball, Roxy. Meow!
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Thanks, Josephine.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34No! You're forgetting the formation, Pups!
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Go! Go! Pups! Go! Go! Pups!
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Not so noisy, cheer-fleaders! The Pups can't hear me!
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Come on, kitties!
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Pups, don't forget the diamond formation!
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Oh, I didn't quite catch that, Freddy!
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Excuse me. Meow!
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Here comes Kittyminster's striker, Kenny,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57but Benny's up the wrong end of the pitch.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Kenny Cat's on the prowl. He shoots, he scores.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03It's 1-0 to Kittyminster.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Meow! Wow!
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Is this your special plan, Freddy? It's brilliant!
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Oh! Footy Pups! You've forgotten to stay in formation!
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- Freddy's right!- We're meant to be playing in a diamond shape!
0:08:19 > 0:08:23I can see all kinds of shapes. Argh!
0:08:24 > 0:08:28A-ha! Bet they can't make a tower this tall!
0:08:28 > 0:08:30# Pups are best They never fail
0:08:30 > 0:08:33# When they're happy they wag their tails! #
0:08:33 > 0:08:37# Cats are better They're really neat
0:08:37 > 0:08:39# They always land back on their feet! #
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Oh, we can go taller than that!
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Whee!
0:08:46 > 0:08:51Now a goal behind, the Footy Pups need to stay in diamond formation.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Hang on! Where's that Pup going?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56DOG BARKS
0:08:56 > 0:09:01Get back into your position, Benny! You're meant to be playing here!
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Quick, cat fleas!
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Go, cats!
0:09:08 > 0:09:10This is a disaster.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15We have to get into formation to stop those cats.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20But we can't make a diamond without Benny. How can we get him back?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22This is a CAT-astrophe for the Pups.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Only Freddy can get Benny back in formation.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Huddle up, cheer-fleaders. Give me a pom-pom.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Wahey! Looks like it's going to be a perfect win for my kitties!
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Huh?- Follow my lead!
0:09:34 > 0:09:36# Benny, it's time to listen up
0:09:36 > 0:09:39# If you want to win the football cup
0:09:39 > 0:09:42# It's a diamond formation so find your place
0:09:42 > 0:09:46# And you can be a goalscoring ace! #
0:09:46 > 0:09:48That sounds like a puppy plan!
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Hooray!
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Time to score some goals!
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Welcome back, Benny!
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- Go for it, Benny! - Now you're in the perfect place!
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Thanks, everyone! Go, Pups!
0:10:09 > 0:10:14What a goal! I don't think the keeper was even ready for that shot.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16It's now 1-1.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Yippee! My diamond formation's working a treat!
0:10:20 > 0:10:23One more goal and we'll win the match!
0:10:23 > 0:10:25There's no stopping the Pups now.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28They're scoring goal after goal after goal!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33It's 9-1.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36And one more makes ten! Woohoo!
0:10:36 > 0:10:39My word! The Footy Pups have won!
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- ALL:- Bow wow wow!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Yippee!
0:10:44 > 0:10:46No hard feelings, eh, Eddy!
0:10:46 > 0:10:48No, no!
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Here, any chance I can borrow your pom-poms for the next match? Oi-oi!
0:10:52 > 0:10:55We did it, team! We won the cup!
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Say fleas!- Fleas!
0:11:02 > 0:11:05That's one for the album.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- Those cats really distracted me, didn't they?- They sure did.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Luckily, you don't get distracted by cats now, do you, Benny?
0:11:13 > 0:11:17No, I don't. I'm completely focused.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- Hi, guys. - ALL:- Hi, Rachel.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24- Do you guys fancy practising some formations?- Bow wow! Definitely!
0:11:24 > 0:11:27How about we try a diamond formation?
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Meow!
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- BENNY BARKS - Cats!
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Benny, are you OK?
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Meow!
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- BENNY BARKS - I need to chase the cats!
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Benny! Benny!
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Do you guys remember how to be in a formation?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Remember to look around you,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51think about how you can help your team
0:11:51 > 0:11:55and move to help them.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- OK, guys, who fancies a game? - CHEERING
0:11:58 > 0:12:00So, I've split you up into two teams.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- We've got the orange team. Give me a cheer.- Yay!
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- And we've got the blues. Blues, let me hear you cheer!- Yay!
0:12:07 > 0:12:12Let's take a look with the Footy Pups to see how to play.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17To play this game, you need to focus on formation.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21When the whistle blows, a formation will be called out.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Team-mates must run to the cardboard cut-outs of the Pups
0:12:25 > 0:12:27and place them in the hoops.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Only when the formation is correct can the next one be called.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35The winners of this game will be the team
0:12:35 > 0:12:39who make all the formations correctly in the fastest time.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Three, two, one.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Let's have a square formation.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46A cracking start from the oranges.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48That's right. Pickles in goal.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- Have a look at the board if you get stuck.- Great advice.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Well done, you got that one right. - CHEERING
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Let's have a diamond formation. Off you go!
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Looks like the oranges have a plan.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Benny at the front over there in the red one.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Great instructions from Paris.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Let's do the triangle formation.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Rex behind him.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- The oranges are flying through. - Where does Rossie go?
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Right there! Smashing! Terrific triangle formation.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Let's have the Y formation. Go! Go! Go!
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Speedy stuff.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Put Rossie at the front and Benny at that side.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Paris could give Freddy Fleason a run for his money.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34And time!
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Let's have a replay.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40The oranges were fantastic at forming formations.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Let's see how the blue team get on.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Three, two, one.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Square formation, guys.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Well done. Make sure they're in formation.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Look at the board if you don't know.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Blues are looking confident. Rossie's in position.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01- Their square is there. - OK, let's do the diamond formation.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- Siena has a look.- Help each other.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06This is brilliant teamwork from the blues.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Let me see if you've got it right. Yes! Well done, guys!
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- Great celebration!- OK, this time I want a triangle formation.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- Off you go.- Careful with Geraldine. She's only small.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Rex looks pleased with this formation.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- Well done, guys. You got that one right!- Top stuff, Rachel.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Let's go for the Y formation.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Y? Why not?
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- You've got to be quick.- That's right because time is running out.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- And time.- Oh, that was close.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Let's have a replay.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39The blues did a great job but which team completed the most?
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Let's go to Footy Pups Benny and Pickles for the final scores.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46The blues completed three and the oranges four,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49meaning they are today's winners.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53My team today have been fantastic at formations.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57We've formed squares, we've formed triangles
0:14:57 > 0:14:59and we've even formed stars
