Yeah, they needed to hire actual volleyball players, because the volleyball was absolutely pathetic. Terrible hitting form, terrible passing form...the only thing they did right was the warm ups before the games, but even that was so so.... They could have at least undimmed the lights to make it feel like they were in a gym. No volleyball player in their right mind would want to play in such dim light. I hate it when people ruin sports in movies by either not hiring people who actually play the sport or going with stereotype...sad....The acting needed some work too, although Adrienne Bailon did a good job, Ciara did not do so well... She should stick to singing. The story was so typically mtv it was sickening...
i thought that this movie was great. i loved Adrienne Bailon's acting. she's awesome. she showed a lot of emotion and you can tell that she was really into the part. i liked the movie. it kept me at the edge of my seat during the volleyball scenes. and i like the fact that the blonde was portrayed in a good light as "the smart one" and not the boring old dumb blonde. i think that Sarah Manson did a great job. i loved the movie. it's one of my favorites. my favorite character though was Adrienne's character Gaby, she's kinda tough and she's pure Latina. and i also like Rada (Daniella Alonso). the movie was awesome, had drama and some sad parts. i recommend it. the movie is about rival volleyball teams, the Madonna's and the Phantoms. after the Madonna's school burns down in a mysterious fire, the three girls Becca,Lauren & Kaitlyn (Ciara, Sarah Mason & Taylor Cole) decide to go to Cathedral High, home of the phantoms. the girls must learn to get along ans become a team to win the state championship ans reach their goals. there is a lot of drama but i wont spoil it for anyone. it is an awesome movie.
Lauren (Sarah Wright), Becca (Ciara), and Kaitlan (Taylor Cole) are 3 privileged volleyball players and best friends. They lose the championship game to Gabby (Adrienne Bailon) and her team. Six months later, there's a fire at the school. The three friends are forced to get on the same team as Gabby. Gabby loses her father to the school fire. Just as the team seems to hit its stride. The team runs into boy trouble, jealousy, and competition creating chaos in its wake.
Coach Harlan (Faizon Love) wonders if this is gangsta volleyball. The movie tries so hard to be cool that it really looks cheesy. The volleyball action is lackluster. One character points out that Gabby is too short. It's good that the movie beats me to the punch, but it doesn't make her grow 3 inches. There is enough girl drama to drive this movie. If they could leave the hip hop posing out of it, this could have been a good movie.

This movie was better than I expected. It presented a positive view about what persons can do with their life, even if life is not fair. With some comedy, real life situations and disappointments and how determination can overcome almost any challenge, this movie is must see. It shows how different walks of life can get along when a common goal is presented. Also showing that no matter what side of the tracks you're from, inside we are all basically the same.
We strive to be better. A better person, player, friend or just trying to understand how to handle life itself.
This movie will make you sad, happy, laugh and at times even dance for the sake of dancing. Very well made in my opinion. I wish more movies with this type of message were made more often.

When I first viewed this movie I was completely amazed by it. It gave me a sense of realness and I must say it quite funny. Ciara's acting skills I thought were outstanding, seeing as it was her first movie, and she's had no acting training whatsoever. I also think that Adrienne Bailon did a stupendous job on this film. In the scene where her father died in the fire was completely remarkable. Her actions were right on point, and she even let out a tear or few. Not everyone can pull that off, I know I couldn't. The plot was fairly clever, indeed, transferring schools--brilliant! In this film everyone can take some sort of message from, whether good or bad, it's impossible not to take a message from it. It's a story about life, confidence, and friendship and believe me if you haven't seen it then I suggest you do.

- TriviaThe prominent female cast members (Ciara, Adrienne Bailon, Sarah Wright, etc.) were all trained by professional volleyball players for a quarter of three weeks.
- GoofsIn the last game, Laura serves the ball, but the next play she is in the front row again. This would have required her team to rotate 3 spots and, assuming no additional points were scored other than side outs, each team should have gained 3 points, which they didn't.
