0:00:02 > 0:00:03The crowd are going wild!
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Here come the Footy Pups!
0:00:07 > 0:00:11# They play like a dream when they work as a team
0:00:11 > 0:00:15# Footy Pups, go, go, Footy Pups

0:00:41 > 0:00:42CHEERING
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Rachel Yankey, top international footballer
0:00:47 > 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.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00CHEERING
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hi, guys. We're all warmed up, so it's time to get moving.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Today on my team we have:
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Number one, Josh.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17That's brilliant.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Number two, Chloe.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Excellent, well done.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Number three, Freddie.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Amazing!
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Number four, Sophie.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Fantastic skills.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Number five, Harrison.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Oh, look at that!
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Number six, Charlotte.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Nice!
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Also joining us are Rex and Pickles.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- Yay!- Ha-ha-ha!
0:01:50 > 0:01:52So that's today's team.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57OK, guys, gather around, it's team talk time!
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Today, we're going to be looking at mirroring.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Who knows what mirroring in football means?
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Ooh, lots of hands.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- Josh?- It's when you copy the other player.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Brilliant. Mirroring is when you copy another player on the pitch,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15so they can't get the ball past you.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20There are three main things we need to remember when we're mirroring.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24We need to think, be ready, and copy the other player.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26You need to...
0:02:26 > 0:02:30ALL: ..think, be ready, and copy the other player.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- OK, guys, let's go and have a practice.- Ha-ha!- Yeah!
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I've split you into pairs with a cone either side of you.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40One of you needs to be in the ready position,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43dodging from side to side and tapping the cones.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45The other player needs to mirror them,
0:02:45 > 0:02:49trying to tap the same cone at the same time, OK? Off you go.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51A great start from the Pups.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Well done. Let's see it.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Mirror that player.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58You've got to try and trick 'em.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Send him one way, then the other.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Which cone are you going to go to? Well done.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Think about where he's going to go, Charlotte.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- Copy his moves.- Some fantastic mirroring here by the team.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Keep watching, keep copying her.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Brilliant stuff. - Go, quick! Good mirroring.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Like this, like this...
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Keep thinking. Watch where she's good to go.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Well done, Freddie.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Whilst these guys keep practising, here's a reminder for you at home.
0:03:29 > 0:03:35When mirroring, remember to think, be ready, and copy the other player.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42In pairs, one of you is going to be the goalkeeper
0:03:42 > 0:03:46and the other is going to be the striker taking a penalty.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Goalies, you need to mirror the strikers
0:03:49 > 0:03:54and try to guess which goal they're going to shoot at. Let's go.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Two goals to defend. That's tricky.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Just keep watching what she's doing.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Copy her movement. Keep moving.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Freddie is like a bouncing bunny.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Why don't you give this a try?
0:04:07 > 0:04:08Sophie lines it up.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Get ready, Harrison. Move from side to side.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Think about which goal she's going to shoot at.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15She shoots.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Good save.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Make yourself look really big, arms nice and wide like a goalkeeper.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Ooh, nearly!
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- That was close.- Fantastic save.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Well done.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31You're great at mirroring, Pickles.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34It's really hard to get a goal past you.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Thanks, Rex. Do you remember that time we played those copycats
0:04:38 > 0:04:40from Kittyminster?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Ha-ha-ha-ha! Oh, yeah!
0:04:43 > 0:04:44WOOF-WOOF!
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Welcome to Pupton Park, where the Pups are preparing for today's game
0:04:50 > 0:04:52against Kittyminster.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- One, two...- Three, four, five! Ha-ha!
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Oi!- These moves help me get ready for a game!
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Stop copying me!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02"Stop copying me!"
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Grrr! Ooh!
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Oh, dear. The cats are up to their cunning tricks again.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10They're copying the Pups' warm-ups.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Time for a Rex super-stretch.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Hee-hee-ha-ha!
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Ha-ha!
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Hey, stop copying my stretchy stretches!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23"Stop copying my stretchy stretches!"
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Grr!
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Oh!
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Meow-ha-ha!
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Ow!
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Hey, stop copying my balancing warm-up!
0:05:32 > 0:05:36"Hey! Stop copying my balancing warm-up!"
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Whoa!- Sorry!
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Mm, a nice, healthy snack will give me energy for the match.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Hey, stop copying me!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52"Hey, stop copying me!"
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Ooh! Hey-hey!
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Great save, laddie.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Thanks, Freddie.- "Thanks, Freddie!"
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Mee-ha-ha-eow!
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow!
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Stop doing what I do!
0:06:12 > 0:06:14"Stop doing what I do!"
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Grr!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Look out, Pickles!
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Meow! Meow!
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Oh, dear.- Meow-meow!
0:06:22 > 0:06:23WOOF-WOOF!
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Oh, those cats are so annoying!
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Ooh! "Those cats are so annoying!"
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Ha-ha!
0:06:32 > 0:06:35My kitties love copying your Pups' warm-ups,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38and now they're fit and ready to win the match.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39THEY LAUGH
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Aww!
0:06:41 > 0:06:44This rectangular routine is really wobbly.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48At least the Cheer-fleaders aren't being copied.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Hang on, what's this?
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- Hey, stop copying us! - "Hey, stop copying us!"
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Whoa!
0:06:58 > 0:06:59After all that copying,
0:06:59 > 0:07:03it's time for kick-off, but Rozzie's feeling full.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I was only meant to have a small snack.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Those kitties may have ruined our warm-ups,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11but they won't spoil our game.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Ruff!- Meow!
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Hey!
0:07:16 > 0:07:17Whoa!
0:07:17 > 0:07:20One, two, three, four... Ha-ha!
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Aww! Those are my moves!
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Ha! Meow!
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Thanks for the balancing tips, Geraldine.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Hey!- Meow!
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Not so fast.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Time for a stretch.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Meow!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Oh, bones.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Oh, dear - now only Pickles stands in the way of a Kitty goal.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47They won't get past this guard dog!
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Are you sure? Ha-ha-ha!
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Get back in your own goal, this one's mine!
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Meow!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Hee-hee-hee!- Ha-ha!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Huh? Where did he go?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Meow!- Argh!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Half-time can't come soon enough for the Footy Pups.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09They've had a defensive disaster.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Those copycats are going to win the match!
0:08:13 > 0:08:17It's not fair. They've messed up our warm-ups and stolen our moves.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Copying is a really silly trick.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Aye, but it can be a good trick, too!
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Excuse me.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29See? If you copy the way another player moves,
0:08:29 > 0:08:31it can be a great way to defend your position
0:08:31 > 0:08:34and stop your opponent getting past.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36It's a skill called mirroring.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I've still got it!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41So, if we mirror the Kitties' moves...
0:08:41 > 0:08:43And we can stop them getting past us...
0:08:43 > 0:08:45We can defend our goal...
0:08:45 > 0:08:48And then race up the pitch and score one ourselves!
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Sounds like a puppy plan.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52WOOFWOOF!
0:08:52 > 0:08:55We're about to start the second half,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57but it's raining cat and dog fleas.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02We can't perform like this. We keep bumping into each other.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Our rectangles are just too wobbly.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- BOTH:- That gives me an idea!
0:09:10 > 0:09:13The flea teams have turned their two wobbly rectangles
0:09:13 > 0:09:15into a super-strong square.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17WHISTLE BLOWS
0:09:17 > 0:09:19We'll easily win this game. Meow!
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Ha-ha! I'm mirroring you.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Ha-ha-ha!
0:09:29 > 0:09:32That is so sneaky.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Meow! Whee! There's no stopping me!
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Not so fast!
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Whoa! Aaargh!
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Quick, Kitties, get the ball!
0:09:44 > 0:09:50Huh? Hey! We're trying, Eddie, but the Pups keep copying us!
0:09:50 > 0:09:51It's called mirroring!
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Thanks, Geraldine.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56HE HISSES
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- Huh?- All I have to do is mirror you.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01I smell trouble.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Hey! Then I'll mirror you, too!
0:10:13 > 0:10:14This is easy.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- Meow!- Hee-hee!- Aww.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21My word, marvellous mirroring has given the Pups a goal,
0:10:21 > 0:10:23making the match a draw.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26# Mirror, mirror, to beat them all
0:10:26 > 0:10:29# Copying players helps win the ball. #
0:10:29 > 0:10:32# Go, go, go... Footy Pups! #
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- And Kitty Cats!- Meow!
0:10:34 > 0:10:36THEY LAUGH AND CHEER
0:10:36 > 0:10:40Well done, Freddie. You've mirrored our score -
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- one goal each. Ha-ha!- Ha-ha!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Until next time.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- LOUDER:- Until next time!
0:10:48 > 0:10:50UNTIL NEXT TIME!
0:10:50 > 0:10:52UNTIL NEXT TIME!
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Oh, dear, I think they're going to be there all day.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- "Oh, dear, I think they're going to be there all day."- Hey!
0:10:59 > 0:11:01LAUGHTER
0:11:01 > 0:11:02WOOF-WOOF!
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Hey, Rex, you were great at mirroring
0:11:05 > 0:11:07those Kittyminster copycats.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Ha-ha! "Hey, Rex, you were great at mirroring
0:11:10 > 0:11:12"those Kittyminster copycats."
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Huh? Hey, don't copy me!
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Sorry, Pickles.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I know, let's copy Rachel, ha-ha-ha!
0:11:21 > 0:11:22- Hi, guys.- "Hi, guys!"
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- What are you up to? - "What are you up to?"
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Er, just practising some mirroring.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31What about you?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Erm... "Just practising some mirroring. What about you?"
0:11:34 > 0:11:36THEY LAUGH
0:11:36 > 0:11:37- Huh?- "Huh?"
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Oh, I see what you cheeky Pups are up to.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Do you guys remember how to mirror someone?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46"Do you guys remember how to mirror someone?"
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Argh, Rex!
0:11:48 > 0:11:55'You need to think, be ready, and copy the other player.'
0:11:55 > 0:11:56WOOF-WOOF!
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- OK, guys, who fancies a game? - THEY CHEER
0:11:59 > 0:12:02So, I've split you up into two teams.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04We've got the Grey Squirrels.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Can you give me your best squirrel impression?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Mm, fantastic.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11And we've got the Red Squirrels.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Can you give me your best impression?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Well done, guys.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18OK, let's take a look with the Footy Pups to find out how to play.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23To play this game, you need to mirror your opponent.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27When the whistle blows, one team stands next to the circle.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31They must guard it by mirroring and blocking the other team who are
0:12:31 > 0:12:34trying to get past them to collect a ball from the ball pool.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39When they've got one, they take it back to their bucket and try again.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43The winners of this game are the team who collect the most balls.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Three, two, one... - BLOWS WHISTLE
0:12:45 > 0:12:47A flying start.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Remember, the Grey Squirrels are mirroring the Reds.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Think where she's going to go.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Who is going to make the first move?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57She's through. Brilliant stuff, Chloe.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Can she grab another?
0:12:58 > 0:13:02That's it, be ready. Dodge from side to side. Keep your arms up.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Move to mirror her. Get your arms out.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Time's running out. It's all to play for.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Chloe looks determined to get past.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Can she find a way?
0:13:12 > 0:13:16These Grey Squirrels are making the Reds work hard.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18A fantastic game here.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Good mirroring. Well done, Freddie.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Harrison's mirroring her at every turn.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Oh, she's past! - She got past you in the end.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31And time.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Let's have a replay.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37The Grey Squirrels were brilliant at blocking and mirroring the
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Red Squirrels, but have they done enough to win the game?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Time for the Red Squirrels to mirror.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45BLOWS WHISTLE
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Off you go. Dodge from side to side, Josh.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Keep mirroring. - Oh, she's past you there, Josh.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Well done.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Ooh, well done.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Excellent mirroring, Chloe.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Charlotte's looking determined.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Think about where he's going to move to.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07Keep your arms up. Move from side to side.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Fantastic stuff.- Good, good.
