A failing high-school football coach finds that in order to succeed he must convince his team that theres more to sports than fame and glory in an inspirational tale of courage on the gridiron and the power of Gods word. Grant Taylor (Alex Kendrick) has been coaching the Shiloh Eagles for six years, and he has yet to realize his dream of a winning season. When the teams star player transfers schools, the first three games of the new season show no promise for improvement, troubles at home begin to take their toll, and a plot among the players fathers to have him fired finds his future in football looking bleak, Coach Taylor is faced with the prospect of either cutting his losses and admitting defeat or turning his life over to God in an attempt to test the true power of faith. With his job on the line and nothing left to lose, Coach Taylor convinces his determined team of underdogs that theres nothing they cant accomplish with a little faith -- including the miracle of a winning season when all hope seems lost. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

and the grace of God, it can be done!

Our whole family loves this film (ages 3-52). It's clean and yet engaging and exciting. The theme of giving your all is clearly illustrated on the gridiron, as well as struggles off the field that require faith or failure.
