New Hallmark movie

In the movie, Pascale Hutton plays single mother Erin, whose 12-year-old daughter (played by Kiera Powers) is obsessed with football. When Erin comes to watch one of her daughter’s flag football practices, she is surprised to run into her ex-boyfriend Mike (played by Ryan Paevey).

A pro football player, Mike has returned home following an injury that may cost him his chance at a championship. When Mike is called on to coach the flag football team, he and Erin begin spending a lot of time together.

Old feelings resurface but their relationship is put in jeopardy when Mike gets a chance to return to his professional career just in time for the championship game.
