Description

In a volleyball setting, this is a story of an idealistic teen who responds to the anti-gay sentiments of her classmates with a positive initiative to create a welcoming space for diverse kids who love the sport.

When the school pushes back and suggests an awkward name for the team, the group decides to establish the league on their own terms. Through this journey, they discover the realities of activism, the power of community, and the need for inclusivity. As they navigate these challenges, unexpected romance develops, adding another layer to their experience.
