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

0:00:46 > 0:00:48top international footballer
0:00:48 > 0:00:51and all-round sporting superstar.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54But when Rachel is not scoring goals for her team,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57she's playing with the Footy Pups.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01CHEERING AND LAUGHTER
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Hi, 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 > 0:01:15Number one, Zainab.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Well done!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Number two, Charlie.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Super dribbling!
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Number three, Willow.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29That's brilliant!
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Number four, Jake.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Fantastic skills!
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Number five, Sadie.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Amazing!
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Number six, Jayden.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Ah, look at that!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50And also joining us are Benny and Geraldine.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51THEY GIGGLE
0:01:52 > 0:01:53So that's today's team.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58OK, guys - gather round, it's team talk time!
0:01:58 > 0:01:59- KIDS:- Yeah!
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Today, we're going to look at different ways to strike a football.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05What ways might we kick a ball?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Jayden?- You could chip it.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11You could strike the lower part of the ball to chip it off the ground.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Sadie? - Shooting the ball at the goal.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17To shoot at the goal, you need a powerful kick
0:02:17 > 0:02:19in the middle of the ball with the top of your foot.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23There are three things to remember when we're striking a ball.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Think about the distance you want the ball to go,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28how high you want it to go
0:02:28 > 0:02:31and how much power we need to strike the ball with.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- Think about the... - ALL: Distance...height...
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- And power! - ALL: Power!
0:02:38 > 0:02:40OK, let's go and have a practice.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I've split you into pairs.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48In between you is a bar on top of some cones.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51You need to pass the ball back and forth,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53but you need to chip it over the bar.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54OK, go.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57A lovely start from the pups.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Oh, well done.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02See if you can get it up. Oh, hit the bar!
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Make sure you get your foot underneath the ball.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Then I lean back so it goes up.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Fantastic stuff, Zainab!
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Yes!
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Can you get it? Yes!
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Next time you play outside, why don't you try this?
0:03:17 > 0:03:22- You put your foot under the ball. - Yeah.- And then chip it up!
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Fantastic.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Sadie has the right idea.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Yes!
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Whilst these guys keep practising, here's a reminder for you at home.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33When striking the ball,
0:03:33 > 0:03:38remember to think about the distance you want the ball to go,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40how high you want it to go,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43and how much power you need to strike the ball with.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Now I'm going to challenge you. In front of you are some goals.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Some are close and some are further away.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54One at a time, grab a ball and try and score a goal.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I'm going to be in the middle
0:03:56 > 0:03:59and I'm going to try and stop you from scoring.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Off you go.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I wonder which goal Zainab is going to go for?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Rachel's given the goals points.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07That's five points!
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Ooh!
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Charlie goes for the furthest goal. That's a whopping ten points!
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Well done, Willow. She's really pleased with that.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19You guys can't score past me!
0:04:19 > 0:04:20- My go!- Kick!
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Oh, it's huge!
0:04:23 > 0:04:24- THEY CHEER - Oh, no!
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Sadie lines it up.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Oh, ten points!
0:04:28 > 0:04:30You guys are too good!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Yes!
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Nice goal, Jayden.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35You're not going to score...
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Oh, straight between your fingers, Rachel!
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Benny, you really are a super striker!
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Thanks, Geraldine. Do you remember the time
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I brought my inflatable ball to Pupton Park?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Oh, yeah!
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Welcome to Pupton Park, where the pups are kicking off
0:04:54 > 0:04:56an important training session.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Rrrruuff!
0:04:58 > 0:04:59- ALL:- Bow-wow!
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Great shot, Benny! Why don't you show the other pups
0:05:02 > 0:05:05different ways they can strike the ball?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Hurry, Freddie - today, we've got a special guest
0:05:08 > 0:05:13who's coming to judge me for the Tidiest Tiny Groundskeeper award.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Pupton Park needs to look perfect if we're going to win.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19But I've heard the judge is very fussy,
0:05:19 > 0:05:23so whatever you do, keep those footballs under control.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Come on, Freddie - you can empty my grass cuttings.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- Ooh!- Benny, why are we learning how to kick a ball?
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Don't we know how to do that already?
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Yes, but did you know you can make the ball do different things
0:05:36 > 0:05:38by striking it in different ways?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I've brought along a special inflatable football
0:05:41 > 0:05:42to help show you.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Here you go, Benny.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47It's not supposed to be that big!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52OK, Pickles - let's try a long shot.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54This needs a powerful kick,
0:05:54 > 0:05:58so take a big run-up and strike the ball in the middle,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00then follow through with your foot.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Sure thing, Benny.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Rrrruuff!
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- Go, Pickles! - That would make a great goal kick.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- Or a long pass.- Now, Rex - let's try chipping the ball.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15This lifts it high in the air past a keeper or defender.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Just lean back and strike here on the bottom of the ball.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21You've got it, Benny.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Ah! Ha-ha!
0:06:22 > 0:06:24THEY CHEER
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Let's try a driven shot, Rozzie.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30You need to lean over the ball and strike it in the middle.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34It's great for fast passes and tough for goalkeepers to save.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38OK... Raaarrr!
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Ha! I did it!
0:06:39 > 0:06:43I hope you've got an extra special kick for me to try!
0:06:43 > 0:06:48Just for you, Geraldine, I've got the toughest kick of all.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Meanwhile, the judging is about to begin
0:06:52 > 0:06:55for the Tidiest Tiny Groundskeeper award.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Keep dusting, Freddie,
0:06:58 > 0:06:59you've missed a bit!
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Cheerfleaders, watch where you're putting your pom-poms.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05That judge will be here any minute
0:07:05 > 0:07:08and I hear he's super-snooty.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Pah! I'm not a cheerfleader!
0:07:11 > 0:07:12I AM the judge.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Pom-poms indeed.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Oh, dear!
0:07:15 > 0:07:20I'll be marking you on neatness, tidiness and most importantly,
0:07:20 > 0:07:22the state of your grounds.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Huh!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25It's a blade of grass out of place.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28CRIES
0:07:28 > 0:07:33OK, Geraldine, this is the trickiest kick of them all.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35You're going to curl the ball.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Rrrruuuff!
0:07:37 > 0:07:39That move is magic!
0:07:39 > 0:07:43You make the ball spin by kicking it on the side.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45As it spins, it curls through the air.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48See if you can get it past that goalie.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Got it. Allez-oop!
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Whoops!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Hm...
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Well, just look at that.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58BOTH: What?!
0:07:58 > 0:08:02It's a speck of dust. Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear, dear.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Argh! I can't get the ball to curl.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Remember to kick the side of the ball, so it spins.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Hm, spins...
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Ah! I know!
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Allez-oooooops!
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Look out!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Argh!- Uh-oh!
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Isn't she a magnificent tractor?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26The tyres look a bit muddy to me.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Oh, dear!
0:08:28 > 0:08:32This is a disaster! I've got to stop that ball!
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Argh...arrrggghhh!
0:08:34 > 0:08:36This is all my fault.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40We've got to stop that ball, before it wrecks Pupton Park!
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Hmmm... - Ah-ha-ha! Help!
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Right, let's see how tidy you are in here.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48That's a brilliant idea.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Ahhh!
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Help!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55I've got a puppy plan.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57If we can hit the valve on the side of the ball,
0:08:57 > 0:08:59we might be able to let the air out.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I'll try my long shot.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Strike in the middle and follow through...
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Ruff!
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Ah, it's high up now.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I'll try a chip shot.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Lean back and strike the bottom of the ball.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Oh...!
0:09:16 > 0:09:18A driven shot might catch it -
0:09:18 > 0:09:20lean over the ball and strike the middle.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Rrruuff! Ohh...
0:09:22 > 0:09:25I can hit it with a curling shot.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Rrrruuff!
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Oh!- What a howler.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32It's heading back to the shed.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I think you should come out now, Mr Judge!
0:09:35 > 0:09:39I've got the last ball - I'll have to try a curling shot, too.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Allez-oops!
0:09:43 > 0:09:46ALL: Wow! Huh?!
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Uh-oh...
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Oh, I've seen enough in there.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Time to look at that pitch.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Oh, the game is up now!
0:10:01 > 0:10:06Well, I have never seen anything like this.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Oh, er...
0:10:08 > 0:10:14It's perfect! It's the most amazing, tidy pitch I have ever inspected.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19There are many ways to strike, you can learn them all.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Shoot long, drive, chip and curl the ball.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27# Go, go, go Footy Pups! #
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Wow, well done, Geraldine!
0:10:29 > 0:10:32That was an incredible curling shot.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36You stopped that runaway ball and saved Pupton Park
0:10:36 > 0:10:39before that snooty judge could notice.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Ahem! Attention, everybody.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43With his perfect pitch,
0:10:43 > 0:10:50I declare Pete the winner of the Tidiest Tiny Groundskeeper award.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52ALL: Oh, wow!
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Well done, Pete!

0:10:56 > 0:10:57Congratulations!
0:10:57 > 0:11:00You won the grand prize!
0:11:00 > 0:11:03A beautiful, brand-new shed.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05THEY CHEER
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Oh, well done for stopping my runaway training ball, Geraldine.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Thanks, Benny.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- Hi, guys! - BOTH: Hi, Rachel!
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Do you guys want to practise
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- striking the ball in different ways? - Definitely!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Let's make sure we give it loads of power.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28OK, let's go for a really long distance.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Ready, steady... Go!
0:11:32 > 0:11:34BOTH: Bow-wow!
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Ow!
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Wow, did you see that power?
0:11:40 > 0:11:45Yes! They went all the way to the moon!
0:11:45 > 0:11:46And back!
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Do you guys remember what to think about when striking the ball?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Think about the distance you want the ball to go,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56how high you want it to go,
0:11:56 > 0:12:01and how much power you need to strike the ball with.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- OK, guys - who fancies a game? - ALL: Yeah!
0:12:04 > 0:12:06So, I've split you up into two teams.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09We've got the Reds - Reds, can you give me a cheer?
0:12:09 > 0:12:10REDS: Yeah!
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- And the Yellows, give me a cheer?- YELLOWS: Yeah!
0:12:13 > 0:12:18Let's take a look with the Footy Pups to find out how to play.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20To play this game of Crazy Football,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22you need to strike the ball in different ways.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27Strike the ball through the tunnel with a little power.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Dribble it to the duck pond and chip it over.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34And finally, shoot it at the castle goal.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36The winners of this game will be the team
0:12:36 > 0:12:39who complete the course in the fastest time.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Three, two, one..
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- PEEP! - Off you go, teams!
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Well done, Charlie.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Great power through the tunnel.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Dribble over towards me.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53See if you can chip it over the pond.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54You're going to need some height.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Fantastic, Charlie. Go, go, go!
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Take it to the white line. See if you can score in the castle.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02It's a beautiful goal!
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Make sure you use a lot of power through that tunnel.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Can you chip it over the duck pond?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10See if you can get your foot under the ball.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Well done, Sadie! Fantastic.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- TEAM:- Sadie, Sadie! - Fantastic support!
0:13:15 > 0:13:17It's a big distance, so lots of power.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18Can she make it two for the Reds?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Yes!
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Zainab lines it up, no messing.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26She's off to the duck pond.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Make sure you miss those ducks.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Oh, straight over!
0:13:29 > 0:13:32She makes her way to the castle goal.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Can you score?
0:13:33 > 0:13:36PEEP! Let's have a replay.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39The Reds were brilliant at controlling,
0:13:39 > 0:13:43chipping and shooting the ball, but can the Yellows do any better?
