Girly girl Emma and tomboy Sam are 13-year-old teenagers, who are identical, personality-opposite twins, join a soccer team so they might switch places.
Jerry Stanton's pride and joy is successfully coaching the Hurricanes, one of the six competing school soccer teams, sponsored by his employer's sports equipment shop. When the competition goes co-ed, he panics, but relies on Sam, the tomboy among his twin daughters, as the not disastrous girl on his team. Alas, partially due to his wife, Denise, a psychologist, the team-picking goes pear-shaped, and the Hurricanes get stuck with fashionista Emma. So he eagerly accepts when Sam and Emma spontaneously suggest secretively trading places, but Denise and attractive boys compromise keeping the charade up.—KGF Vissers
Thirteen year old twin sisters Emma and Sam Stanton are identical in physical appearance only, Emma a girly-girl and Sam a tomboy. Their father, sporting goods store owner Jerry Stanton, is ultra competitive, and thus outwardly pays more attention to athletic Sam who is able to help him win in any sporting competition. Emma doesn't mind as she knows he loves her, and she doesn't like those athletic endeavors like Sam. Conversely, Sam, now at that stage in life, wishes that she caught the eye of boys like Emma always does without even trying. Jerry's six year reign as the sponsor and coach of the winning youth boys soccer team is at risk when the league becomes coed, he hoping to recruit Sam onto his team to continue that winning streak. However what happens is that he recruits Emma, while Sam is recruited by the least competitive team, their coach Willard who is all about them having his sense of fun as opposed to winning. Both Emma and Sam end up not having the greatest experience on their respective team and thus come up with the idea of switching places in pretending to be the other, doing so which may have an unintended consequence of Sam's pursuit of the boy she likes, transfer student Greg. While they think that their father may be on side with their plan in it supporting his own goal to win, their major stumbling block would be their mother, psychologist Denise Stanton who has always wanted Jerry to lose that win at all cost mentality, especially if a result is him paying more attention to Emma.—Huggo
