This series is about the footballing adventures of Leandro and his friends at the extraordinary Morrison High, where caring principal Mr Billy Chin seeks to do his best for each and every pupil. Off the field, Leandro, together with friends Jasmine, Hock Ann, Augustine and others, have to grapple with the pangs of teenage years.
