With an upbeat and spiritual story about girl's basketball, it is a miracle that this movie was made, 15 October 2006
7/10
Author: Amy Adler from Toledo, Ohio

Julia (Soleil Moon Frye) has been hired to coach the girl's high school basketball team at a private Episcopal school. The previous coach, Father Thomas, in is charge of the school itself. Although he handpicked this former nationally recognized player to be his coach, he insists on telling her how to run her operations. This means conflict, at first, for Julia has her own fine ideas on how to coach the team. Gradually, Father Thomas learns to appreciate her plans and gives her a freer reign on the team. The results are outstanding. The young players begin to win game after game. Is it the power of God at work, for Julia is a committed Christian or is it her coaching abilities? Also, is Julia attracted to Father Thomas, a widower, or is she still in love with a hotshot sports announcer? This is a fine movie on three levels. One, it gives a wonderful look at talented young female basketball players and their athletic abilities. Two, it has a romance and a nice one at that. And, three, the film has a spiritual nature that is very rare in cinema these days. Frye is lovely and breathes natural talent while Father Thomas is attractive and compelling. The other actors, including the young girls, give very nice performances, too. The sets and costumes are quite adequate. If you want to show an uplifting film to young girls, here is the perfect choice. It scores excellent points for its story revolving around basketball, believing in oneself, and having faith in a higher power.
