Jack organises a publicity stunt that he hopes will boost ticket sales as the team face their first pitch battles.

This series follows top flight football club West Ham United Women’s team and their 18-year-old Managing Director Jack Sullivan.

As women’s football explodes into the mainstream in the run-up to next summer’s World Cup, Jack’s dad David Sullivan, one of the richest men in Britain and the joint-Chairman of West Ham United, has tasked Jack with transforming the fortunes of the women’s team.

Filming on and off the pitch, with episodes released as the 2018/19 season progresses, the series follows the progress of the squad as they debut in the all-new, fully professional Women’s Super League, competing at the highest level of the women’s game against some of the toughest teams in the world.

Jack’s first full-time job since leaving school at 16 sees him bringing together a squad of 18 outspoken, powerful women, overseeing a million pound budget, and trying to raise the profile of a growing sport often dismissed and derided by male fans. With exclusive access to the club, players and backroom staff, as well as to Jack and his larger-than-life family, this revealing and inspiring behind-the-scenes story discovers just what it takes to be a professional female footballer in today’s game, and whether a loveable but inexperienced teenager can change the face of women’s football.

While Jack rolls up his sleeves to organise a publicity stunt that he hopes will boost ticket sales, 19-year-old striker Leanne Kiernan is getting used to living in the big city and playing for a Super League club. As the team face their first battles on the pitch, will Jack’s newly formed squad sink or swim?
