This is the year. The season to win it all; a league title, the sectional
championship and finish the season as the No. 1 ranked high school
women’s soccer team in the nation. Everything is in place for Monte Vista
High to have a season to remember. But what will they remember?

Black and White Ball is a new feature docudrama about the
emotional roller coaster of achieving one’s dream. B&WB follows
the successful girl’s soccer team at Monte Vista High School, in
Northern California. But it’s much more than a sports film. It’s a
look at the drive, relationships and passion of any team with a
common goal. And, the team members aren’t the creation of a
Hollywood producer. They are the real teammates, daughters,
and sisters celebrating each victory and struggling through each
defeat. It’s competition at the highest level for the league and
section championships and the precious few college
scholarships.

Soccer is more that just a sport to the girls on the Monte Vista High
School soccer team. It’s a way of life. Their parents spend thousands
of dollars each year on training, traveling and tournaments to get their
daughters seen by the most college coaches possible – and they’ve
been doing it for 10 years. Soccer also represents a lifecycle
opportunity for character development, personal growth and team
bonding. The film shows the determination of young women today
and the corresponding struggle to be a successful, top rated athlete.
For the girls of the Monte Vista High Mustangs the challenge is
exacerbated by an extremely high level of competition and affluence in
their community. Success not only means a college scholarship, it’s
also a status symbol in Danville, California. How can they keep up?

In Black & White Ball, soccer is a metaphor for any goal-oriented passion, helping to
serve up life lessons that most people don’t learn until well into adulthood. An
inspirational and motivational film, it also demonstrates the benefits reaped when
parents stay active in their children’s life. Whether it’s art, music, dance or sports, the
film points out how crucial it is that parents take every opportunity to support their
children’s passions and become immersed in their fleeting youth. Children never get it
back – and neither do their parents.
But this is more than a sports documentary; and it goes way beyond the typical sports
clichés. It appeals to parents and kids of all ages and shows us how hard work,
familial support and dedication can make your dreams come true.
