When shy and friendly, 18 year old Maire also known as her nickname "Five" wins a ticket from a cereal box. And not just any ticket, a USWNT special ticket that lets the winner go to their games, train with the team, and even be one of their players for the whole season! When Maire finds out that she is the winner, she decides to turn it down since she is not a "big" fan of soccer.
---------------------------
However, when Maire finds out that she can't turn down such a big opportunity, she decides to join in. Traveling to where the USWNT are training and staying at, she is at first excited and shy to meet them, but is too embarrassed when she can't do anything right, when it comes to soccer and training with the team, playing with the team, or even hanging out with the team (as a normal person). That changes until fellow USWNT players Hope Solo, Lauren Cheney, Amy Rodriguez and a former USWNT coach, Coach April Heinrichs, decided to help train Maire, with the help of Mal Pugh, and the other USWNT players. When Maire sees that being a soccer player isn't an easy job, she then realizes that there is more than just playing soccer in the game than to love it, but it's also the team's socializing efforts, and valuable teamwork, that puts the game in its place.
