0:00:02 > 0:00:05BELL
0:00:05 > 0:00:06Meet Year 7.
0:00:08 > 0:00:09Awesome!
0:00:09 > 0:00:12It's the most important year of school so far.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14- THEY GIGGLE - You are not here to have a laugh.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15- You are here to learn. - BLOWS RASPBERRY
0:00:15 > 0:00:17With so many changes...
0:00:18 > 0:00:20..new friends...
0:00:20 > 0:00:21F, have you got a cloth?
0:00:21 > 0:00:23..and new teachers...
0:00:23 > 0:00:24You are a Greenwood boy.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27..it's an exciting world to discover.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Wow!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31It can be fun.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32But sometimes, it can be tough.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36There are different challenges for everybody.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38We're in Year 7, we're acting like three-year-olds!
0:00:38 > 0:00:41We have rigged another secondary school with loads of cameras.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Is this what you see when you look through a camera?
0:00:44 > 0:00:45Cos this is awesome.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48So you can find out exactly what happens.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51You are on report by my request.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54I'm Trev.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55I used to go to school here.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58But now, I'm one of the teachers.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Last question. Because you're going to run out of time!
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Welcome to Our School.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I need a wee!
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Secondary school gives you lots of opportunities to get involved.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18But you don't always have to join the clubs everyone thinks you should.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20But today, we meet the students who are taking
0:01:20 > 0:01:22the challenge of doing something different.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Meet kickboxer Libby.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28And best friends Courtney and Dominique.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31These three are among some of the Year 7 girls who love
0:01:31 > 0:01:34anything sporty and are not shy to show it.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Elise, get in front of her!
0:01:36 > 0:01:39If there is a sports club on offer, they are giving it a go.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42From basketball to trampolining.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45And for the first time in our school's history,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49the Year 7 sporty girls are given a chance that I don't think
0:01:49 > 0:01:50they will be able to refuse.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55For those who don't know me, my name is Mr Davies.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56I am obviously a PE teacher here.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00One of my remits, one of my other jobs, is also to encourage
0:02:00 > 0:02:03a lot of extracurricular activities for year sevens.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04I have also, as of yesterday,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07been given the pleasure of running the Year 7 football team.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- The girls' football team. - THEY CHEER
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Hooray. Mr Davies is now your team manager.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14So you need to be nice to me from now on.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17So, girls' football, what we are going to do today is,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20there is going to be a sign-up sheet in the canteen downstairs.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23If you are interested in signing up for the football team,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26you come down today, you sign the sheet. Name, signature.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28And maybe put your form on as well.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30On Friday, we are going to select a team captain.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32If you are interested in being the captain of the team,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35you need to come along with a little speech about why you want
0:02:35 > 0:02:37to be the captain.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39OK? Thank you. Thank you for your time.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41So sign up at break time, girls, please.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Judging by that response, I don't think the girls have woken up yet.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Let's hope they are more lively at break time
0:02:47 > 0:02:50and Mr Davies gets his girls' footy squad.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Meet BFFs Courtney and Dominique.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Dominique lives with mum, three sisters and her little nephew.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04You are heavy. Oh!
0:03:04 > 0:03:09For Courtney, home means mum, dad and older brother.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11She has always been good at sport and at primary school,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13was captain of several teams.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15INDISTINCT
0:03:15 > 0:03:19These best mates are always hanging out at each other's houses.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I don't think I've ever seen them apart.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Our friendship is amazing, because we're always together
0:03:24 > 0:03:27and we've always been close friends, since we started junior school.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30If something is going on in a class or something,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33I can say something, or just look at her and just laugh at her,
0:03:33 > 0:03:35because I know what she's trying to say.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39As well as loving a kickabout in the park, secondary school
0:03:39 > 0:03:43has given them an opportunity to get involved in a lot more sports.
0:03:43 > 0:03:49I'm trying to get into trampolining, street dance and basketball.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53And probably a girls' football team, or football just in general.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I don't think there is any more clubs left!
0:03:58 > 0:04:03Every table needs to be clean in the next minute.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06If not, I will start taking off your break time.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08This break time, the only thing on Courtney
0:04:08 > 0:04:11and Dominique's mind is joining the football team.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14We need to sign the football thingy to be in it.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Girls, do you realise you are sitting next to my Year 7
0:04:19 > 0:04:21girls' football team sign-up sheet?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24You watch, by the end of break, that is going to be full.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Oh, it will.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Here we go.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31What year are you in? 7. Well, that's all right, isn't it?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- SHE CHUCKLES - Can you play football, though?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Yeah, I can.- Well, there you go, you'll be in the team.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Well done, guys. Thank you. Come on, girls.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Come on, come and sign up.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49I don't think football is just for boys.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53I think there are loads of different sports that girls can do as well.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I think girls' football is quite good, because instead of just
0:04:56 > 0:04:59focusing on boys' football, girls get the equality.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Are you interested football? Not a footballer?- No.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- Do girls do professional football? - Yeah.- Do they?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- They do like volleyball football. - No, like normal football.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Like...- Yeah.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Of course they do.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15They do, don't they?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Girls, are you signing up for the football? Year sevens.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Have you signed up, girls?
0:05:21 > 0:05:27The only sport that I play is FIFA. On my brother's Xbox.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Have you all signed up, girls?
0:05:29 > 0:05:30No... Are you in?
0:05:32 > 0:05:37One time, I hit the ball off the wall and I had to do two press ups!
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- You can do press ups?- Yeah. I go like that.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43SHE GIGGLES
0:05:43 > 0:05:47By the end of break time, Mr Davies' hard work has paid off.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Thank you, Rhianna. Well done. Lunchtime today.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54And with a potential new team, it's time for Mr Davies to put them
0:05:54 > 0:05:57through their paces at the first girls' football practice.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04It's the first time some of our girls have ever been coached in football.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Come on, Courtney, control the ball!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09For a first practice, they were extremely keen.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Skill-wise, I realised from the start
0:06:12 > 0:06:16that we need to focus on their skills more.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18And a little bit off task at times.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21At the end of the day, they were all smiling. That's the main thing.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24They enjoyed it. They'll come again.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26To me.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30After a successful first training session,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33the girls are going to need a team captain.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Courtney and Dominique have decided to step up and give it a go.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39They have to complete their speeches
0:06:39 > 0:06:44and perform it in front of Mr Davies and head teacher Mr French.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Dominique heads home to write her speech by herself.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48When she has written it,
0:06:48 > 0:06:52she practises in front of an eager audience.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54"So, if you pick me for the team captain,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57"I will support you and help you and give it 110%."
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Bravo!- Yay! Yay!
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Yay!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I think you, Dom, will get captain.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09My little sister and nephew, I think they got a bit too overexcited,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12cos I don't think they really knew what I was saying meant.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16THEY CHANT: Captain! Captain! Captain!
0:07:21 > 0:07:25With the best friends now competing for captaincy against each other,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28they both decide to seek advice from their form tutor, Mr Elliot.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31So...
0:07:31 > 0:07:32GIRLS GIGGLE
0:07:32 > 0:07:35What are we making a speech about?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Becoming a team captain in football.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Team captain in football. OK.- Yes. - What do you want to say in general?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43What is the message behind?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I want them to know that I would be a good team captain
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- and I would help them. - I would support them.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- I would support them, and be confident.- Yes.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51So, Courtney, what you want to think about
0:07:51 > 0:07:54when you are writing it, is exactly what you just said.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56What will make you a good team captain. But...
0:07:56 > 0:07:59You know, you experience, right?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Why... You've done things like this before.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05If you stutter or miss a word, if you forget something,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08the worst thing that you can do is panic.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10You have the experience.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13You have the knowledge. You have the confidence.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Courtney and Dominique are not the only ones
0:08:20 > 0:08:22with their eye on the prize.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27Meet Libby, their sporty friend, who also fancies herself as captain.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Courtney and Dominique, like, they always make you laugh.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Like, even if you're sad, they always make you happy.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35She decides to join the race.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Libby may be small, but she certainly packs a punch in the ring.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47She has been kickboxing for five years and has even won a few matches.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50People are surprised that I do kickboxing, because
0:08:50 > 0:08:53when they look at me they think I am like a girlie girl, and everything.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57She lives with her mum, brother, sister and Bruce the dog.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59She trains with her brother, Brandon,
0:08:59 > 0:09:03who recently won gold at kickboxing World Championships.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Just keep it off the spot instead of putting your foot backwards.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08How does he rate her?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Technically, she's a better fighter than me.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14But, as...power wise, she is missing that,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16just because she needs to build a bit more strength.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19But as soon as she has built that strength, she will be a lot better.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22My mum has always said to me, good things come in small packages.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26So I have always went by that, not with what anybody else thinks of me.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29She doesn't let her height knock her confidence, does she?
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Good on you, Libby!
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Let's start again, it's got to make sense. Once...
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- BELL - Ah...
0:09:41 > 0:09:43CHEERING
0:09:48 > 0:09:52After school, Libby gets to work on her speech with a little help
0:09:52 > 0:09:54from friends Quinn and Dulcie.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Are you going to write a speech? - Yeah.- I don't know what to write.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Do you want a coloured pen? Be cool like that.- Yeah, a massive.....
0:10:00 > 0:10:02I know what I want, I found some in English.
0:10:03 > 0:10:09Oh, she has took them. Miss Hanson... Here they are! Pink pen.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Can I have one, please?- Don't put it on there, you fruitcake!
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- I like the colours.- She's not a fruitcake!- Do want a pink pen?- Yeah.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- Oh, sick. I want one.- Look for one.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24I love this chair.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Can I have the pink pen, please, Libby.- Whee!
0:10:27 > 0:10:30That's not my idea of doing a speech.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Wheee! I know what I'm doing.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Going to do a beard.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- Do you like my beard?- Yes, I love your beard!- Dulce, do you like it?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- Yeah.- What have we got to write a speech about?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Why would Libby be a good girls' football captain.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Cos she is sporty!
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Spotty?
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Did you just call me spotty?
0:10:55 > 0:10:59No, Libby, she said sporty, not spotty.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00My spots are going now, you know.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Libby is using her leadership skills to get her friends
0:11:05 > 0:11:08to brainstorm ideas.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11They even give speech-writing a go.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15I think you would be a good girls' football captain
0:11:15 > 0:11:17because you are sporty.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Do you want to read mine?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20"Libby would be a good football captain
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- "because she loves being sporty and..."- No...
0:11:23 > 0:11:27I think she would be really good at being in charge.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29THEY CACKLE
0:11:31 > 0:11:35The girls pack up and head home with a strong speech in the bag.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38With Libby all set for tomorrow,
0:11:38 > 0:11:40conversation quickly turns to celeb crushes.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- I love Joey Essex, man. And... - Excuse me!
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Channing Tatum!
0:11:47 > 0:11:50So your candidates for girls' football captain are...
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Libby...
0:11:54 > 0:11:57..and best friends Courtney and Dominique.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02It's the day of the speeches.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Courtney and Dominique head to school, together of course.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08But what does it mean for two best friends
0:12:08 > 0:12:10to compete against each other?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14I think if Dominique became captain, we would still be close friends.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19It's not about becoming captain, it's about being part of the team.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Having given it more thought,
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Courtney is starting to worry about competing against her best friend.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28At break time, she tells Libby and Dominique.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- Libby, are you doing a speech to become team captain?- Yeah.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Yeah.- I ain't.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I want one of you to be. I don't want to be it.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42It was a bit of a surprise
0:12:42 > 0:12:44when Courtney said she didn't want to do it any more.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Because, like, it's always been out of me and Courtney...
0:12:48 > 0:12:52And like, say, if it involves a speech or anything,
0:12:52 > 0:12:53and she always wins.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56But it was actually, it was a surprise.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Didn't think she would step down.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03I started to, like, to get flashbacks from like,
0:13:03 > 0:13:07primary school and think I was always captain.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Let someone else have a turn.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10BELL
0:13:10 > 0:13:14There goes that Friday bell. But the week is not over just yet
0:13:14 > 0:13:16for Libby and Dominique.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18While everyone is leaving for the weekend,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21the two candidates are getting ready to deliver their captaincy speech
0:13:21 > 0:13:26in front of PE teacher Mr Davies and the head teacher, Mr French.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27No pressure, then.
0:13:27 > 0:13:33- Shall we take a seat, then?- Yes. - Right... Sit here.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Candidate one is Libby.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39I think I would be a good football captain because I am even
0:13:39 > 0:13:40and let everyone have their say.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Also, I will try and get as many people dedicated to it
0:13:45 > 0:13:46and stick with it as a hobby.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Also, I will make sure they have a lot of fun
0:13:49 > 0:13:52and participate in every game we play against opposite schools
0:13:52 > 0:13:54and every training session we have.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Even though it is a football club,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57some days maybe we could do something fun.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00So they enjoy it even more.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I will try my best as a girl football captain.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Please choose me for captain, it will be an amazing opportunity.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Well done. Well done, Libby.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08DOMINIQUE WHOOPS
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Next up, candidate two. Dominique.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Hello. I believe I should be captain of the girls' football team,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18because I will help the team in any way.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I will always be confident leading the team.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23I have already been in the team,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26so I know what football matches are like.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28I will always listen to every individual player
0:14:28 > 0:14:31and their problems about the team.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34If I was the captain, I would still be me, a team player.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37As they say, there is no "I" in team.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39So if you pick me for the team captain,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I will support you and help you and give it 110%.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44110%, fantastic.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Well done, both of you. I think you have both
0:14:46 > 0:14:48made fantastic claims to be the captain
0:14:48 > 0:14:50of the Year 7 girls' football team.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53That decision will be made between now and Monday morning.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- OK, well done. Thank you.- Well done, thank you.- That was really good.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59See ya!
0:14:59 > 0:15:01All the pressure has got to Dominique.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03She decides to go to trampolining
0:15:03 > 0:15:05instead of walking home with the girls.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- Where's Dominique?- Trampolining.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13She hasn't told Jay anything.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16You know what, if I'm captain, I want her to be co-captain.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18I want her to like, be a captain as well.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- Like an assistant captain?- Yeah. Because I'll feel so horrible.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Libby's feeling it too. It's going to be a long weekend.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35In citizenship class,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Year 7 are learning about stereotypes.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40You need to give me
0:15:40 > 0:15:45a 15-word definition about what a stereotype is.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Archie?
0:15:46 > 0:15:51A stereotype is what you assume a person is like and how they act.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- Yes.- Stereotypes are people that judge other people, eg,
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- don't judge a book by its cover. - I love that phrase.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04What kind of subjects at school should girls do?
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- Hair and beauty.- Hair and beauty? Why hair and beauty?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- I know!- Because they are girls?
0:16:11 > 0:16:15So, you guys actually are stereotyping there.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Right, a stereotype is assumed idea about a person or
0:16:18 > 0:16:22a group of people that is not necessarily correct.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Just like girls playing football,
0:16:24 > 0:16:28there are lots of ways to challenge stereotypes.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33Has anyone here ever had a manicure before? Oh, you have?
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- Which one do you want? - Pink.- You just have to put that on.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40This time, the year sevens are given the option to try out lessons
0:16:40 > 0:16:41in hair and beauty...
0:16:41 > 0:16:45I want that. I want it over my own.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47..or construction.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49So there is a possibility we could get electrocuted?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51You won't get electrocuted.
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Meet another Courtney.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54A self-confessed tomboy.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57She is one of four girls who have decided to do construction
0:16:57 > 0:17:00instead of hair and beauty.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05- No!- Nah!- Mate, you are in the wrong classroom!
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Er, I think that's stereotyping, Spencer!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12OK, Year 7, can you spread your selves around this table, please.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Welcome to Greenwood Construction.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Today, we are going to look at painting and decorating.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21I chose construction because I'm not really like a girlie girl,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23I don't like doing... I do like doing nails,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26but not, like, massively enough to choose it.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Despite being one of the only girls in class,
0:17:30 > 0:17:34she has raced ahead with her work and Geoff is well impressed.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37All right. I want to try to use your board as an example.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40That's perfect. Well done, really good.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Yeah, that's perfect.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Girls should try and do whatever they want
0:17:43 > 0:17:46and shouldn't let other people's opinions worry them.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Cos at the end of the day, it's what you love,
0:17:49 > 0:17:51not for everyone else to judge you.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54If you give that a good pasting first, that will hold that down.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Absolutely brilliant, girls.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04Meanwhile, over in hair and beauty, our hair-obsessed best mates
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Spencer and Archie have chosen to take part in today's lesson.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11But Spencer feels a bit out of his depth.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13This is scary.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Do we have to do it?- Yeah.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Yo, Archie, that looks like you!
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- FUNNY VOICE:- Hello...
0:18:20 > 0:18:22The reason I wanted to do the hair course, hair and beauty,
0:18:22 > 0:18:26was because, like, we are each just into our hair.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Yeah, we like hair.- Yeah.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Every single boy in Year 7 has a quiff.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39They just can't stop touching their hair.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41They put too much gel in it, as well.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44They act like their hands are glued to their head.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47If my hair is a mess, I've got to redo it.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51If it's in my way, I've got to redo it. Like it is now, but I can't.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55My hair is sometimes important if I've got like,
0:18:55 > 0:18:58an assembly or something.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02But if it's just like just a boring day, then I will just pull it up.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- I think girls would do better at long hair, like doing...- Yeah...
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- Like doing the crimple things, and all that.- I like crimpers.
0:19:10 > 0:19:16And boys are better at doing like a...blow dries and that.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- No, we're not.- Yeah we are. Girls are better at blow dryers.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- Not really.- Yes, they are.- Yeah, but girls only...
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Boys mainly do it when they get out of the shower, girls do it...
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Girls do it out of the shower. Boys mainly do it to pump their hair up.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30- Yeah, exactly.- Exactly.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33You don't get out of the shower to pump your hair up.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34Exactly!
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Let's see how they are enjoying their hair and beauty session.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- It's cold.- Is it? I thought the heat was on.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Being the only boys there was like, quite fun, actually.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Because there is no other boys around.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48We got to talk to the girls more.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49The boys soon settle in with the girls
0:19:49 > 0:19:52but Spencer is not getting on with his mannequin.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57Don't... Oh, for God's sake! Don't... Oh, my God!
0:19:57 > 0:20:00He calls for help from teacher Sandy.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01See, you make it look easy.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I make it look easy?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Oh, what a charmer.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08He has managed to get Sandy to do the work for him
0:20:08 > 0:20:10and he has even wrangled a compliment.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Did you blow dry your hair this morning?- Yeah, I did, actually.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- Yeah.- OK, so you blow-dried and used a little straighteners?- Yeah.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- You've done a good job.- Thanks.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Time has come for Libby and Dominique to find out
0:20:29 > 0:20:33the results of who's going to be the girls' football captain.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Feeling nervous?- Come on in, girls.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Take a seat. If you can sit in the two seats I've pulled out.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Oh, I don't know who's going to win. Who's going to win?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I think Dominique, she had more speech than Libby.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48How do you think it went? Libby, first.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50How do you think it went on Friday?
0:20:50 > 0:20:52I... I think it went good.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56I tried my best and if Dominique gets it, then maybe we can just...
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- I could try next time or something. - Great, fantastic. Dominique?
0:21:00 > 0:21:03I think I did as well as Libby.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- Libby thought the same, so...- OK, I will let you know where we are at.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08I have decided who is going to be
0:21:08 > 0:21:10the Year 7 girls' football captain.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Myself and Mr French had a little discussion after you left on Friday.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17And we had a quick chat this morning before our briefing.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20We were both overwhelmed by both your performances.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22You were both fantastic
0:21:22 > 0:21:26and you would both make a fantastic Year 7 girls' football captain.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27But we had to make a decision.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34I am going to offer Libby the opportunity to become
0:21:34 > 0:21:36the Year 7 girls' football captain.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Thank you.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43What I would like, Dominique, have you heard of like,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45a vice-captain? Can you work together as well?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47So, when you are doing the warm-ups as well,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50because you will need some support. If you can work together? OK?
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- Well done, congratulations. - Thank you.- OK. Have a lovely day.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- Well done.- Well done. - What's happening after school today?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- Football training. - Football training.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59So your little role now, from between now
0:21:59 > 0:22:02and the end of the day, is get as many girls in as possible. OK?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Straight after school. Well done again, girls.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09I'm, like, really happy that I have became the football captain.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Hello.- Hello. - Do you find out today?
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- I found out!- And...?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15It was me. I'm captain.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17SHE LAUGHS
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Thank you!
0:22:19 > 0:22:23I hope Dominique is not too upset because she seemed happy.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Then when we left the school, that day, she said,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28"I don't want to think about it, I don't want to think about it."
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Because she knew that if she thought about it,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33she would get upset even more.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I mean, it doesn't really matter who is captain
0:22:35 > 0:22:39because we are all a team anyway, so it is just about winning the game.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Over the next few weeks,
0:22:48 > 0:22:52girls get training in preparation for their first big match.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- GIRLS: Yay! - Right, what have we got next week,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- what is happening this time next week?- A match!
0:23:02 > 0:23:05We've got our first match. And, girls, the idea is,
0:23:05 > 0:23:06we will meet straight after school.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10I will give you your kit and we will go in the school minibus. OK?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12I'm a bit nervous because it's going to be the first
0:23:12 > 0:23:18time to come out of the school to an away match for our first match.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Don't worry, Courtney. I'm sure it will all be fine.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23The girls hop onto the minibus with
0:23:23 > 0:23:25chauffeur and team manager, Mr Davies.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29- Do you think we are going to win? - Think positively!
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Yeah, obviously we are going to win!
0:23:32 > 0:23:36We all know that we will try our best and if we lose, we lose.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39But if we win, then that will be better!
0:23:39 > 0:23:42As the girls arrive at their first away football match,
0:23:42 > 0:23:44they instantly size up their competition.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47I'm not being funny, girls, but they look easy.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Libby seems like she's a very confident captain.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55In a happy mood, because I think we can have a chance of winning.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56I think we're going to win.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00And here is today's Our School line-up.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Courtney in goal...
0:24:04 > 0:24:07With Phoebe, Jesse and Quinn at the back.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Midfield, we have Rhianna, Katie and captain Libby
0:24:10 > 0:24:13And as strong up front with Dominique and Ellie.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16On the bench there is Bethany and Tamar.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Let's enjoy it, girls. OK.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20All the things we've done in training -
0:24:20 > 0:24:22passing, communicating, all the things you do well.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Working hard for each other.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Most importantly, girls, we are going to win.- Yes.- OK?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Now we will listen to Libby, our captain.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31She's going to have a few more words before you start.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Right, all we can do is try our best.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35So no matter like, if people get past you or
0:24:35 > 0:24:38if people score goals, don't get down.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Just carry on and try your hardest. - Keep your head up.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- One, two, three... - TEAM: Greenwood!
0:24:44 > 0:24:46And they kick off.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50In the first half, the girls make a promising start
0:24:50 > 0:24:53and it looks like Ellie knows her way around the pitch.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56We're doing good. We're passing more.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Ellie has tried to score loads of times.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01And she is, like, proper going for it.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04I think we are doing quite good.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08CHEERING Oh, Quinn, have you spoken too soon?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10They scored.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Girls, don't let that goal get you down.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15I think Mr Davies is going to have to have a word at half-time.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Everything we have done in training, up to now, we're not doing.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20We're not passing, we're not controlling,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22we're not moving into space.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23I don't want to come off second half,
0:25:23 > 0:25:26saying we could have done, we should have done,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29we do it now. OK, we have got 20 minutes to turn it round.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Let's win this. It's only 1-0.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Unos, dos, tres...
0:25:32 > 0:25:34TEAM: Greenwood!
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- Let's go, girls. Second half. - That Spanish.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- I thought that was French! - No, that's Spanish.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Need to brush up on your languages, Mr Davies.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42To me!
0:25:42 > 0:25:44With a confidence boost from Mr Davies,
0:25:44 > 0:25:48the girls get back out on the pitch for a better second half.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50The gaffer gives Dominique a breather.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53If we score it's 1-1 and they're not going to score any more.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Cos we won't let them.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Yeah, but we need to score.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00With chances for Greenwood coming thick and fast,
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Mr Davies puts Dominique back on.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13CHEERING
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Back of the net! Dominique gets the equaliser.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21With moments to the end of the match,
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Dominique's goal secures the team a draw.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25- Hip hip...- Hooray!
0:26:25 > 0:26:26- Hip hip...- Hooray
0:26:26 > 0:26:27- Hip hip...- Hooray!
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- And one for good luck.- Hooray!
0:26:29 > 0:26:30When I first scored the goal...
0:26:30 > 0:26:33We all went mental, we started running everywhere!
0:26:33 > 0:26:34I didn't even know I had scored yet.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I just kicked the ball and then I heard people shout and I was like...
0:26:37 > 0:26:40"Huh? I've scored!"
0:26:40 > 0:26:43I've scored a goal!
0:26:43 > 0:26:46I don't know why, but I felt a bit sick when I did it,
0:26:46 > 0:26:48because, like, the emotion.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- It was just like...- Shouldn't you like, be happy, not sick?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Yeah, I know, I was happy, but, like, in a sick way...
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Girls' football rocks.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01People were saying that they wish they had joined football now.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Because they want to play matches and get involved in it.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06So, hopefully, people will start joining.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10So, you see, whether you're a boy or a girl, you can
0:27:10 > 0:27:13get stuck into all sorts at secondary school.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Let's hope our year sevens can keep it up. Good on you.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Next time...
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Taylor-Jay and Charlie go face-to-face
