Molly McGrath (Goldie Hawn) is a divorced mother of two girls and a Chicago high school girls' track coach. Verna (Swoosie Kurtz) is her sister best friend. Molly knows more about football than her male colleagues due to her late famed coach father. She wants to be the JV football coach but head coach Dan Darwell (Bruce McGill) picks the clueless home-ed teacher instead. He offers her the varsity coaching job at the rundown inner-city Central High. Levander 'Bird' Williams (Mykelti Williamson) is the local hustler and Ben Edwards is the principal. First, she has to win over the players.
Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson play two of the players. It's a standard white savior movie with a bit of fun and a healthy side of sexism. It's a bit funny but not too much. It's nothing great. Goldie Hawn is solid. There isn't anything special but it's good enough.
