Ladybugs

A single father, Matthew, trying to impress his boss and win over his estranged son, secretly coaches his son's struggling soccer team, the 'Ladybugs'. To do this, he enlists the help of a young woman, Sally, who disguises herself as a boy named 'Sal' to join the team. As the season progresses, Matthew juggles his deception and his growing feelings for Sally, all while his son begins to open up to him.
