This is based upon a true story.
In 2011, a star High School volleyball player Caroline - aka Line - Found (Danika Yaroush) dies in a scooter accident before her senior year and coach Kathy Bresnahan (Helen Hunt) must pull the team together to overcome their loss and go on to hopefully win the Iowa State Volleyball Championship for the second straight year.
The movie opens showing the close relationship between Kelly (Erin Moriarty) and Caroline - Line.
For the girls on the team this is most devastating as Line - as she was called - was loved by all. Her best friend Kelly blames herself for the accident because she was the last one to see her and didn't tell Line's father Ernie (William Hurt) about the scooter. Ernie says there are too many "ifs" in life and it wasn't her fault. Ernie tells Kelly the other girls look up to her to get the team practicing again.
Bring a box of Kleenex to this because you will need it. You will feel like you knew Line and you miss her too. Coach Kathy - also called Bres by the girls - has a tough job ahead of her and she knows it.
You will see a lot of good volleyball as the team climbs to get to the finals.
This is a good production and the acting by all is very good. Yes, it gets a little sappy and that is why you are asked to bring a box of Kleenex to the show. It is truly heartbreaking.
Stay when the credits run to see the real Caroline - Line - Found and her parents and what happened to everyone. (7/10)
Violence: No. We don't see the accident. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Humor: Yes. Language: No. Rating: B
