Courage means chasing the ball, no matter who's watching.
Deme is bold, determined, and ready for a challenge. She is tired of sitting on the sidelines while the boys have all the fun at lunchtime, and she knows she has what it takes to play footy too. But when she tries out for the inter-school team, she quickly discovers that not everyone is ready to welcome a girl onto the field. Facing teasing, doubt, and outright opposition, Deme must decide whether to listen to others or stand firm in her own strength.
Through it all, she leans on Cassie, Emma, Jade, and Jia, her best friends and the heart of Team Girl. Together, they are navigating the triumphs and trials of their last year in primary school, discovering that courage means believing in yourself even when others do not.
