It's the Hopperton Hoops' half-time team talk - life, love and occasionally football.

Coach Karen delivers her half-time team talk to the under-13s Hopperton Hoops. It's life, love and occasionally football. By Harry Venning.

Coach Karen is the new coach of an under-13 girls football team called the Hopperton Hoops. They're not the most successful team in the league, in fact they've never won a game. And under Karen, this record is unlikely to change. 

A brand new comedy series by Harry Venning (Clare in the Community) about how a young woman with no life experience is desperate to share it with people even younger than herself.

Starring Karen Fishwick (RSC Juliet, Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour) as Coach Karen.
