Coach -- Nick Scanlon (Hugh Dancy) is an unemployed, trust-fund type with no plans to change. Until... his girlfriend dumps him. With this, comes a soccer coaching position and the possibility to experience real love.

A slacker trust-fund type finds the motivation to become a coach of a middle school soccer team. Through an unlikely friendship with the team’s thirteen-year-old star player, and a budding relationship with Gabrielle who questions his party-boy lifestyle, Nick begins to understand that growing up is more complicated than he ever could have imagined – whether it be at thirteen, or at twenty-eight. Nick embraces his new challenge, his new girlfriend, and his soccer team of misfits, and with a few missteps along the way, ends up finding himself in a place he never thought possible.

When Granger High needs a new boy's basketball coach, they hire former Olympic gold medalist Randy Rawlings (Cathy Lee Crosby). She soon finds out, however, that her lanky team has no idea what it takes to win. Worse, her job hinges on a perfect season, and sexist principal Fenton Granger (Keenan Wynn) is determined not to let that happen. The coach fights to the end -- both on and off the court -- in this inspirational drama.
