The pressure is on for the down-and-out Saint Agnes girls' volleyball team to defeat their biggest rival and to save their coach's job. But with a limited number of players, a string of losses, an awkward confrontation with an angry parent, and two of the girls about to come to blows over a boy, things are looking rather grim. As their coach confronts his own nagging case of "loseritis," the girls learn to work together, hatching a plan to turn their season around and learning to conquer any challenge thrown their way, on or off the court. Lively and heartfelt, Volleygirls captures the spirit and passion of everything you love about team sports.
