Seven children who are constantly getting into trouble are given one last chance by their teacher, Mr Davies: form a football team and play in the local Little League. The new Bad Boyz are keen to prove themselves, but keeping them focused on football is no easy task. With arguments, cheeky behaviour and plenty of challenges both on and off the pitch, can Mr Davies turn this unruly group into a real team—and keep them out of detention?
