0:00:02 > 0:00:05The crowd are going wild. CHEERING
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
0:00:15 > 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 > 0:00:26# Rozzie and Benny and Manager Freddie
0:00:26 > 0:00:30# Footy Pups, go, go, Footy Pups
0:00:30 > 0:00:34# There's Rachel, too and, of course, all of you
0:00:34 > 0:00:38# 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 and all-round
0:00:48 > 0:00:51sporting 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.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01THEY CHEER
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hi, everyone. We're all warmed up so it's time to get moving.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Today on my team we have...
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Number one, Ariel. Oh, yes, Ariel!
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Fantastic dribbling.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Number two, Samuel.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Woo! Samuel! Number three, Ella.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Well done, Ella.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Number four, Dara.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Yes, Dara. Love that.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Number five, Bethany.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Super skills, Bethany.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Number six, Trevin.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Come on then, Trevin. Nice one.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Also joining us are Footy Pups Rozzie and Pickles.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52So that today's team.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57OK, guys. Gather round. It's team talk time.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Today we're going to be looking at long passes.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03When on the football pitch might we need to do a long pass?
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- Dara?- When you're a goalie kicking down the pitch.- Well done.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- Anyone else? Samuel?- If you're crossing the ball from the corner.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16- Brilliant. Ella?- If you need to pass a long way to your team mates.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Great answers, guys. There are three main things we need to remember when
0:02:20 > 0:02:24we are doing a long pass. We need to move towards the ball, swing our leg
0:02:24 > 0:02:27back...and follow through with power.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31ALL: Move towards the ball,
0:02:31 > 0:02:36swing your leg back, and follow through with power.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Fantastic. Let's go and have a practice. Come on.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40CHEERING
0:02:41 > 0:02:46I've split you into pairs. You need to run forward to each set of cones
0:02:46 > 0:02:48and pass the ball back and forth to each other
0:02:48 > 0:02:50before moving to the next set of cones.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Each set of cones gets further apart so you'll need to use
0:02:53 > 0:02:55more power to pass the ball.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00- They're off.- Excellent.- A confident start from the team. Lovely.- Good.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Move your foot towards the ball, swing your leg back,
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- pass with power. Well done. - Great advice, Rachel.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- Come on, Dara.- You're gonna need a little bit more power there.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17- Cos we're a bigger distance.- That's right, Rachel. Just like this.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Excellent.- Ariel and Samuel are up next.- Good.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- Nicely done.- Come on, Ariel. - Great support.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26They're getting a further apart.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28That's it. Move towards the ball, Samuel. Swing that leg back
0:03:28 > 0:03:31and follow through.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34More power, Ariel.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Fantastic.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Why don't you give this a try? - Come on, Trevin.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Swing that foot.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45- Some fantastic control here. - Well done. That was brilliant.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Whilst these guys keep practising, here's a reminder for you at home.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Move towards the ball, swing your leg back
0:03:53 > 0:03:56and follow through with power.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Now I'm going to challenge you. In your pairs, you're going to move
0:04:02 > 0:04:05along the cones, passing the ball back and forth again.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08But this time there is an obstacle in between you.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11So you're going to need to get your toes right underneath the ball
0:04:11 > 0:04:15so you lift the ball off the ground when you're passing. Off you go.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20Scoop it gently over. Gently. Good boy. Well done.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22THEY CHEER Great stuff.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Bethany, swing back and follow through to get some power.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31- Brilliant, Bethany. Well done. - Toes right under. Phenomenal.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36- Good, at an angle. - Crikey, that was huge.- I like that.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Underneath and then up.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45- Nicely done there, pleased with that. Trevin lines it up.- Good.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Yeah, well done.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- You're great at long passes, Rozzie. - Thanks, Pickles.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Do you remember the time we played that away match against
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Trunkmere Rovers?- Oh, yes.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02The Footy Pups are playing away today against the elephants
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- of Trunkmere Rovers.- Oh.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Look at the size of that pitch.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10It's the biggest football pitch I've ever seen!
0:05:10 > 0:05:12"SEEN" ECHOES
0:05:12 > 0:05:15But that big pitch isn't the only surprise.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Where are the elephants?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Here they come.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23They're getting bigger.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25THEY TRUMPET
0:05:25 > 0:05:27ALL: Wow.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Welcome to Trunkmere, Footy Pups.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34You've grown so tall since the last time we played you.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36How did you get so big?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40It's all down to our healthy diet of fruit and vegetables.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43And plenty of exercise.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Us elephants grow up fast.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48THEY STAMPEDE
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Right. We better get started then.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Hurry up, Pups.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Don't start without us.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00With you in a minute.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Got it. Ha-ha.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Quick. Pass it, lassie.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12This pitch is so big. I'm nowhere near anyone.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17Yes, Rozzie will have to get closer to her team-mates to make a pass.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Where is everyone?- Well, I'm here.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Sorry, Pickles. I'm too far away to help.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- I'll try and save it.- La-la-la.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- I'm not used to all this running. - And that's the first goal to
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Trunkmere, but it's not just the Pups who are feeling tiny today.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44We've got to be extra loud to get noticed on this big pitch.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Look out, Cheer-fleaders.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49THEY SCREAM
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Everything is so big here. Nobody will be able to see us.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Huh? Who said that?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58This is a strange looking kick-off,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01but it looks like Rozzie's got a plan.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02If we stay close together,
0:07:02 > 0:07:06it's much easier to pass and move up the pitch.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11- Are we nearly there yet? - Keep going, Rex.- We're almost there.
0:07:13 > 0:07:19- You're almost where? - Oh, we've got miles to go!
0:07:19 > 0:07:22PUFFING
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Wait...for...me.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Oh.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29This enormous pitch is exhausting the Pups.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Let's hope Pickles can save this one.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Oh, dear. He's been lobbed, so that's 2-0 to Trunkmere.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Right, huddle up, Pups. Pups?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43We're down here, Freddie.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Oh, everything at Trunkmere is far too big.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52- It's really wearing us out.- And sticking together to keep the ball
0:07:52 > 0:07:53just makes things worse.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Maybe we should spread out across the pitch
0:07:56 > 0:08:00and try kicking all our passes a long way instead.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Brilliant idea, Rozzie. That's called a long pass.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07A big pitch needs some big kicking.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10The elephants won't be expecting that.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13And it's a great way to get the ball to their goal
0:08:13 > 0:08:15without too much running.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Sounds like a puppy plan!
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Sorry I'm late!
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I had to run all the way from the other side of the pitch.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Never mind, laddy.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29- Now it's time to get right back out there for the second half.- Ah!
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Ruff, ruff!
0:08:30 > 0:08:32So, with the second half started,
0:08:32 > 0:08:35let's see if Rozzie's new idea will help the Pups.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Pass to me, Geraldine!
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Uh-oh. - ELEPHANT LAUGHS
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Don't forget to try a long pass!
0:08:43 > 0:08:47OK, over to you, Bennie. Allez-up!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Great, now I can score.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Oh, no, the Trunkmere goal's still too far away.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Over to you, Rozzie! - HE BARKS
0:08:56 > 0:09:01It's hard to tell where these long passes are going to land.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- ROZZIE LAUGHS - Got it!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Ah, that's my girl! Now go for goal, Rozzie!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Ruff!
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Well, that long shot lands the Pups back in the match.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14It's Trunkmere two, Footy Pups one.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Let's make sure we can all be seen.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Ready, steady, go!
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- ALL:- Yippee!
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Everybody must be able to see us now.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- ALL:- Whoa!
0:09:26 > 0:09:28THEY GROAN
0:09:28 > 0:09:33But it looks like Trunkmere are struggling to kick off again.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I'm completely out of breath.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39All these long passes from the Pups are giving us the run-around.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41ELEPHANT TRUMPETS AND PANTS
0:09:41 > 0:09:46Oh, sorry, my ele-panting keeps moving the ball.
0:09:46 > 0:09:52I know, let's show the Pups how we play blow football!
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Brrrr!
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Oh, bones!
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- ELEPHANTS:- Charge!
0:09:57 > 0:09:59ELEPHANT TRUMPETS
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Brrrr!
0:10:02 > 0:10:07Great catch, Pickles. Now, long pass it back to Geraldine.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- You've got it, Freddie! - HE GROWLS
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- Oh! Whoo! - ELEPHANT GASPS
0:10:12 > 0:10:16And I'll long pass it to Rex. Allez-up-up!
0:10:16 > 0:10:19REX LAUGHS
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Thanks for the lift! Here you go, Rozzie. Ah!
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Thanks, Rex.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28One more long pass from me! Ruff!
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- ELEPHANT TRUMPETS - Hey! That was my ball.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- Woohoo!- My goodness, Rozzie's long pass was so long,
0:10:37 > 0:10:39it's made the elephants score an own goal.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42That was a tough match for Trunkmere Rovers,
0:10:42 > 0:10:46but it looks like the cheer-fleaders have had a clever idea
0:10:46 > 0:10:47of how to see and be seen.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- ALL:- Passing long takes a kick that strong.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Get your aim right and you won't go wrong.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Go, go, go, Rozzie!
0:10:56 > 0:10:57- ALL:- Bow-wow!
0:10:57 > 0:11:02Wow, Rozzie, your long pass was amazing!
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Thanks for a great game.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Oh, but it's a really long way back to the clubhouse.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Ha, don't worry, we'll give you a lift.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14THEY LAUGH AND CHEER
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Ruff, ruff!
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Trunkmere Rovers' pitch was huge, wasn't it, Rozzie?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22You're right, Pickles.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Luckily those long passes really helped us.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Hi, guys.- Hi, Rachel.- Hi, Rachel.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32Rachel, you're great at long passes. Do you want to practise with us?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Yeah, definitely.- OK.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37You go long, and we'll pass you the ball.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38OK.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Keep going!
0:11:44 > 0:11:46A bit further, Rachel.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Guys, I can barely see you!
0:11:50 > 0:11:53They'll never be able to pass this far.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55It's coming!
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Wow! That was long!
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Do you guys remember how to do a long pass?
0:12:03 > 0:12:04WHISTLE BLOWS
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Move towards the ball,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08swing your leg back,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11and follow through with power.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Ruff, ruff!
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- OK, guys, do you fancy a game? - CHILDREN:- Yes!
0:12:15 > 0:12:17So, I've split you up into two teams.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21We've got the Rhinos. Can you give me your best rhino impression?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- ALL:- Yeah!
0:12:23 > 0:12:25And we've got the Elephants.
0:12:25 > 0:12:31- Give me your best elephant impression.- ALL:- Brrr!- Brilliant.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Let's take a look with the Footy Pups
0:12:33 > 0:12:35to find out how to play.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40To play this game you'll need to pass the ball a long distance.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Players must aim their ball towards the Pups,
0:12:43 > 0:12:45being extra careful to avoid the cones.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49For every ball that lands at the Pups' feet, they score one point.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53They then high-five their team-mate and it's the next player's turn.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57The winner will be the team who score the most points
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- before the final whistle blows. - WHISTLE BLOWS
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- Three, two, one. - WHISTLE BLOWS
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Samuel wastes no time getting started.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08He lines up a ball. What a pass to Pickles!
0:13:08 > 0:13:10THEY CHEER
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Grab a ball. Who are you passing to?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15She's one determined pup.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16Perfect!
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Move towards the ball.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21THEY CHEER
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Oh, yes!
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Oh, he's going to go for Bennie.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27You're going to need a lot of power.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Bennie's the furthest away. Oh, just a bit too much.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- BOTH:- Bethany, Bethany! - She's passing to Rozzie.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- Oh, it's a long way.- Well done!
0:13:38 > 0:13:39- BOTH:- Laura!
0:13:39 > 0:13:42It's a lovely pass!
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- WHISTLE BLOWS - And time.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Let's have a replay.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48The Rhinos had a brilliant game shooting long passes.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Let's see how the Elephants got on.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Three, two, one. - WHISTLE BLOWS
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Ella looks determined from the off.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57- BOTH:- Ella, Ella!
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Who are you going to aim for? Swing your leg back.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Has she got enough power? Of course she has.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- He's gone for Bennie. - Trevin passes to Bennie.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08A lovely little pass!
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Move towards the ball. Really follow through for power.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Brilliant!- Yes!
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Pickles!- Ella is going for Pickles, too.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Never mind.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Trevin, Trevin!
0:14:22 > 0:14:23He lines it up.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25It's huge, but hits the cone.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Are you going to try and get it to Rozzie?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30It's a nice smooth pass.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- BELL RINGS - And time.
