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.

Inspiring, action-packed story of a rag-tag team of young soccer players who, with the help of their new teacher and the local sheriff, restore their small town's former glory when they go all-out and beat the odds of winning the state championship.

The biggest game in the world comes to the smallest town in America in this action-packed comedy about a group of bored misfits who become local soccer heroes. A winning family film from the people who brought you Angels in the Outfield, The Big Green will elicit big grins from the whole family! Nothing ever happens in Elma, Texas...at least not until British schoolteacher Anna Montgomery (Olivia d'Abo of The Wonder Years) arrives. Determined to motivate her students, Anna decides to form a soccer team. She enlists the aid of out-of-shape sheriff Tom Palmer (Steve Guttenberg, Three Men and a Baby), who agrees to coach the team so he can beat his old nemesis, the ruthless coach of the big city bullies, the Knights. THE BIG GREEN scores with parents as well as with kids, who learn the importance of being a team player...and a good sport!
