On February 8th, the Super Bowl takes place between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs.

After the United States Department of Education began to cut support programs outside of school hours, fathers and mothers from the Brooklyn communities decided to offer their children future prospects with the Brooklyn Saints. In addition to fun and sport, this team focuses on education and preparation for real life. On their long way to the final of the National Championship, teenagers, often from marginalized areas, learn respect, perseverance and team spirit. In order to avoid any misunderstandings, Coach Guawala explains at the beginning of the documentary “This is American Football, not Soccer!” In addition to plays and the right tackles, the kids also learn that of the one million football players in the United States, only 70,000 make it to college – and just under 2000 of them make it to the NFL. For this very reason, education comes first. Important lessons that are often only found next to the sports field.
