The first installment of the Kickers series focuses on the theme of team work. When Ben joins the co-ed soccer team, the Bobcats, he is determined to be the star player even though he is a novice. Much to his dismay, his obnoxious nemesis Mark has proclaimed himself the star player and taunts Ben at every turn. In order to play well and start scoring goals, the boys must learn to play together as a part of a team.
