Do Nick and the Cannons have what it takes to beat the best schools in the country? After winning the State Cup, Nick Young and his team are off to Western Australia to compete in the National Junior Schoolboys Championship. Almost immediately, Nick gains a new rival in the tough-talking Jayden. But Nick's also got other things on his mind--he's been offered the opportunity to trial with the Arsenal Youth Academy. This could be the chance of a lifetime, but it will mean leaving behind his friends at the NSF and moving to England to live with his football legend dad. When his teammates find out, they're not impressed . . . especially Nick's best mate Bazzo. Can Nick rally the Cannons and lead them to glory or will he decide to say goodbye to Football High forever?

Things come to a head when a former teammate changes schools and becomes the opposition Nick has proven himself by helping the Cannons through the early rounds of the State Cup. Now, with talented rival Kane Kruger at a different school and sports agent Ricky Comino checking out Nick's talent on the field, Nick's dream of playing professional football like his superstar dad is looking a lot closer. If only the rest of high school was as easy. The National School of Football has a strict 'No Pass, No Play' rule, and when Nick fails his History test, Principal Vale decides to get tough. If Nick doesn't improve his grades he may find himself out of the Cannons altogether. Can Nick stay on the team long enough to face off against Kane and lead the Cannons to their first State Cup Knockout title?
