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 > 0:00:21# Footy Pups, go, go, Footy Pups
0:00:22 > 0:00:26# Rozzie and Benny and Manager Freddie
0:00:26 > 0:00:29# 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 > 0:00:37# Footy Pups, go, go, Footy Pups
0:00:38 > 0:00:41# Go, go, go, go, Footy Pups! #
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 > 0:00:58she's playing with the Footy Pups.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00THEY CHEER
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Hi, everyone.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07We're all warmed up, so it's time to get moving.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15Today, on my team we have - number one, Emily.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Excellent, well done.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Number two, Isaac.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Fantastic skills.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Number three, Alana.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Brilliant.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Number four, Aidee.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Amazing.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Number five, Tilly.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38That's it, keep dribbling.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Number six, William.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42Oh, look at that.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47And also joining us are Footy Pups Rex and Geraldine.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50So, that's today's team.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51CHEERING
0:01:51 > 0:01:54OK, guys, gather round. It's team talk time.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56THEY CHEER
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Today, we're going to be looking at types of balls we use in sport.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Each sport uses a different ball which looks and feels different.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Does anyone know what types of balls these are?
0:02:07 > 0:02:08- Isaac?- A basketball.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Brilliant.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Basketballs are extra bouncy,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14and they've got pimples on them to help us grip.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Aidee?- A rugby ball.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Rugby balls are oval-shaped,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22and they've got pointy ends to make it easier to throw and catch.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23- Tilly?- A tennis ball.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Tennis balls are furry to help slow them down
0:02:26 > 0:02:29when they fly through the air. Well done, guys.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Let's go and have a practice.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37In front of you is a box that contains a type of ball.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Put your hand through the hole at the top of the box,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44have a feel around and describe what you can feel. Emily, you're first.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Pop your hand in the box, have a feel around.- It's hard.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- What else can you feel? - It's really light.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Do you want to have a guess?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Is it a table tennis ball?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Oh, do we think she's right?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00A table tennis ball.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Well done, Emily.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Isaac's next.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Fluffy, a little bit small.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09OK.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Tennis ball.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12It is a tennis ball.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Brilliant. Alana's next.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18It's kind of a little bit bumpy.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Is it a golf ball?
0:03:19 > 0:03:21It is a golf ball.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Well done, Alana.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25The end is pointy.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26A rugby ball.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Is it a rugby ball?
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Yes!
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Smooth and it's big.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- I think it's a football. - You think it's a football?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Oh, yes, she's got it right.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Lumpy and hard.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- Do you think you know what it is? - Yeah, a basketball.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47We've got a basketball.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Great guessing, guys.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Well done.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52THEY CHEER
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Lots of sports use a ball specific to the game that you're playing.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59I'm now going to challenge you to see how hard it is
0:03:59 > 0:04:02to use a different ball to play football.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05You need to dribble your ball and see if you can score a goal.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07William, you've got the football...
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Dribble it to the goal.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12It's nice and smooth so it rolls really well on the grass.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Can he score?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17It's going to be difficult with this rugby ball.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20It's got pointy ends so it bounces randomly.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Great control though, Tilly.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26And an amazing goal.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Emily's next with a basketball.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31It's big and round, a bit like a football.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34This golf ball's quite small, so it could be tricky to kick.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38I'm not surprised Aidee's struggling with this one.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- Aidee!- He goes for goal.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- Yes!- Alana, you've got the tennis ball.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45It's furry, it's not going to roll like a football.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47This could be tricky.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51But it's a lovely goal. Isaac's last with a tiny table tennis ball.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55It's really tricky trying to play with the wrong ball, isn't it, Rex?
0:04:55 > 0:04:59You're right, Geraldine. Do you remember that time I popped
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- the last football at Pupton Park? - Oh, yeah.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Hello, and welcome to Pupton Park.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10You're just in time for another fun football practice.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Although, has anyone seen Freddie? PHONE RINGS
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Oh, that must be Freddie now.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Sorry, Pups, it's a disaster.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22I'm stuck in traffic so I'm going to be late for practice.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25You'll have to start your kick around without me.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- ALL:- No problem, Freddie.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Promise you'll look after that football,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32seeing as you've lost all the other ones.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- ALL:- We promise, Freddie. - REX:- I love a kick around.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Oh!
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Oh, bones!
0:05:40 > 0:05:43We might need another ball.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45But we haven't got another one.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48And we promised Freddie we'd look after it.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51We'd better find something else to practise with
0:05:51 > 0:05:52before Freddie gets back.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56We can't play football without an actual football.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01As long as it rolls and we can kick it, no-one will notice.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06'Ooh, I think young Rex might be in for a surprise.'
0:06:06 > 0:06:09This balloon will make a great football. Ha-ha!
0:06:14 > 0:06:16This pom-pom is nice and round.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18There.
0:06:18 > 0:06:23I think we need to keep looking, Rex.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25The search is over.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30- We can use this tomato. Catch, Pickles.- Oh!
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Sorry.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35None of these things make a good football.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38And we promised Freddie we'd start our kick around.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43Oh, oh. Maybe Groundskeeper Pete can help us find a new football.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46'While the Pups are looking for a new football,
0:06:46 > 0:06:49'the Cheer-fleaders are looking for the Pups.'
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Where is everyone? - If there are no Pups to cheer for,
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- we'll have to find something else to do.- Let's pick some apples.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- BOTH:- Argh!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- Watch out!- Ow!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04The Pups must have kicked these into the tree.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06'Oh, dear. I think the Cheer-fleaders
0:07:06 > 0:07:10'will have to look for a new way to spend their time.'
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Don't worry, Pups,
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for
0:07:14 > 0:07:16in our big, old box of lost balls.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- ALL:- Oh, wow. Thanks, Groundskeeper Pete.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Maybe we could play football with this rugby ball.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Ha-ha-ha!
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- BOTH:- Look out, Pickles.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30CRASH!
0:07:30 > 0:07:32What a howler!
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Oh, dear. A rugby ball is shaped a bit like an egg,
0:07:36 > 0:07:41so it's easier to hold, throw and catch.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Which makes it perfect for playing rugby.
0:07:44 > 0:07:50Maybe we could play football with this basketball.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Ah!
0:07:52 > 0:07:53- ALL:- Whoa!
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Ha!
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Ooh!
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Whoa!- Oop! Ah!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02That ball's far too boingy.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06A basketball's meant to be really bouncy
0:08:06 > 0:08:08because that's how players dribble it
0:08:08 > 0:08:11up and down the basketball court.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Oh, I think we need to keep looking.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Meanwhile, with no Pups to cheer on, the Cheer-fleaders
0:08:18 > 0:08:21are still looking for something else to keep them busy.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Get ready for the best cake ever.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29- ALL:- Woohoo!- Wah! Oooh!
0:08:29 > 0:08:33I'm not sure we're very good at baking either.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38We're running out of balls to try.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Hup, hup, hup, hup.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Pass it to me, Benny.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Ruf!
0:08:45 > 0:08:47SQUISH!
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Oops! A football would never squish like that.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55No, because the ping-pong ball is very delicate and light.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Oh, I know.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59They use those for table tennis.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Yes, and the players use tiny bats like this
0:09:03 > 0:09:06to bounce it across the table.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Woohoo!
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Oh, it's no good. I can't even blow it back up.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17'Poor Rex looks deflated.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22'Meanwhile, the Cheer-fleaders are taking a huge leap for fleakind.'
0:09:22 > 0:09:26I want to be the first flea in space.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- ALL:- Flea, two, one, blast off!
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Did you land on the moon?
0:09:32 > 0:09:37No, just another big pile of footballs.
0:09:37 > 0:09:43Don't worry, there's one more ball in here.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Over here.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Eeh! I wouldn't kick that if I were you.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Cricket balls are very hard.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55You hit them with a strong, wooden bat.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58You don't kick them with your boot.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03Ah, so the kind of ball we use for football is important after all.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Now we've got nothing to play football with.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09And Freddie will be back any minute.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- CAR HORN BEEPS - That's him now.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Hello, Pups.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Why aren't you practising?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I'm really sorry, Freddie, but I popped the last football.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24We tried to find another ball.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28But it turns out the best ball to play football with is...
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- ALL:- A football.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Well, I'm sorry I took so long.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37But that's because I was out buying more footballs.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- ALL:- Bow-wow!
0:10:39 > 0:10:41There you are, Pups.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44We couldn't find you anywhere.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- BOTH:- We did find all of these footballs, though.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Wow, now we've got twice as many footballs to play with.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53And lose!
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- BOTH:- Not too heavy, not too small, they bounce just right,
0:10:57 > 0:10:58we love footballs!
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- ALL:- We love, we love, footballs!
0:11:01 > 0:11:06Aye, different balls are all perfect for the sports they're meant for.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11And there's nothing more perfect to play football with than a football.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Ya!
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- ALL:- Huh?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- ALL:- Rex!
0:11:18 > 0:11:20THEY LAUGH
0:11:20 > 0:11:24It was nice of Freddie to buy us those new footballs, wasn't it, Rex?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Yeah, and lucky that the Cheer-fleaders
0:11:26 > 0:11:29found all of the old ones, too.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- Hi, guys.- BOTH:- Hi, Rachel.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Oh, that's heavy.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I heard you lost all your footballs,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37so I found this ball and thought we could use it.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Rachel, that's a bowling ball. You can't play football with that.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Well, it's round and it's smooth like a football.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Let me have a try.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48BOING!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Oh! Ow!
0:11:50 > 0:11:52That ball's too heavy. You're right.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56You can't play football with a bowling ball.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58OK, guys, who fancies a game?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- ALL:- Yes!
0:12:00 > 0:12:02So, I've split you into two teams.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- We've got the yellows. Yellows, give me a cheer!- Yay!
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Fantastic. And we've got the red team.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Red team, give me a cheer!- Yay!
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Brilliant. Let's take a look with the Footy Pups
0:12:13 > 0:12:16to find out how to play. Come and have a look.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19To play this game, you use different balls.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21The first player runs to the ball pool,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23looks for a basketball,
0:12:23 > 0:12:27and shoots it at the basketball hoop to get a point.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29To get a point at the rugby post,
0:12:29 > 0:12:32they must find a rugby ball and score a try.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34And finally, for another point,
0:12:34 > 0:12:37they find a football and shoot for the goal.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40The winners will be the team who score the most points
0:12:40 > 0:12:42with the correct balls.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Off you go, William.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Remember, he's searching for a basketball first.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50He shoots for the hoop.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Brilliant stuff.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54A rugby ball this time.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Place it on the ground. - Find a football.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00- Great advice, Isaac. - That's it, shoot for the goal.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Oh, it's a beautiful goal.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Alana runs forward.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Well done, straight in there.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09She goes for a basket. Oh, never mind.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11There's a rugby ball right there.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- She wastes no time. - See if you can score a try.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Lovely stuff. And now to find a football.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20She's got one. Can she seal the deal?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- Yes.- Woohoo.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Go, Isaac.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25He's looking to score a basket here.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27He shoots. It's in!
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Super speedy stuff.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- What ball do you need this time? - A football, Rachel.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Can he score?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38And time.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43It's the second half. Can the yellows do any better than the reds?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Tilly shoots and scores.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Quickly, get another ball.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- THEY CHANT:- Tilly!
