When The Kicks find out that their coach can no longer coach them due to a family emergency they go on a search for a new coach. If they don't find one in time they won't be allowed to practice and will be forced to forfeit their first game. Upon discovering a suitable candidate, Kentville's head custodian, The Kicks have to convince him to accept the position.

With The Kicks field in such poor condition, Coach Rivas is concerned for the safety of his players. After a failed fundraiser, Coach Rivas gets the idea to challenge the boys to a scrimmage with the winner gaining full access to the nice turf field that the boys currently use. With the good field at stake, the girls train hard to prepare to play the boys.

Devin is faced with a personal crisis when her soccer lucky headband goes missing and she starts playing terrible. She attributes all her bad luck to losing the head band and her teammates must figure out a way to calm her nerves before The Kicks lose too many games.

Devin's ankle is badly hurt, but she believes that if she can keep it a secret from the team and Coach Rivas they will allow her to play in the biggest game of the year against Pinewood Academy. In order to protect Devin the team tells Coach Rivas about the injury who in return decides to bench Devin for the game.
