Making the Team: Taking a Stand
Join teenage football stars Callum Cooper and Jackson Mbemba for the toughest and most exciting week of their lives as they try to make the team at Premier League club Stanford FC.
The Cathay Cup final is fast approaching. There’s a lot riding on this game for Academy hopeful Jackson. This is his chance to show his talent.
But Jackson can’t stop thinking about the racist abuse he’s had from a teammate. He would rather ignore it and pretend it never happened, but deep down, he knows what he has to do.
It’s time to take a stand.
