Abba Productions is working with Maddy Curley and Brooke Buffington from Full in Faith who
wrote the full length screenplay. The screenplay is family friendly and we plan to seek a "G" or "PG" rating!
After playing a lead in Disney's "Stick It" as Mina, Maddy and Brooke wrote this as a follow up to that film.

got nothing to lose." Or was that a country song? Either way, life changed dramatically for me when I ruined World Championships.
My hair got stuck around the bar on our final event and I made the choice (that I’d like to note every girl would’ve
chosen) to stop my routine and salvage my hair. The unfortunate consequence was that I caused team USA to lose the World Championships,
which apparently is a big no-no, as it blacklisted me from a college scholarship. I wasn’t, and I quote, a "team
player." Thankfully, back in 1972, congress passed a BEAUTIFUL law, now commonly
known as "Title IX." This dictates that college athletics must offer an equal number of women and men’s programs.
Thus, when Harvard’s athletic director, Preston Kelly, and a group of prominent alumni wanted to start a rugby team,
they couldn’t. That is, not without a new girls team as well. Harvard researchers found that women’s gymnastics
required the fewest members of all sports to form a team and gymnasts on average had higher GPA’s and SAT scores than
all other athletes. Who better to start the team than an outcast, former World Champion with a perfect SAT? If only it ended there: me, happily ever after at the best Ivy League school in America. But of course boys
started this and boys could end this too. The rugby team got off to a great start only to do something as ludicrous as
gambling
and drinking with an underage, international recruit, using per diem money!!! COME ON! How did they get accepted to Harvard?!
And of course, one of the said boys involved was my crush? dater? Ok, boyfriend? Whatever one might call him, I liked him
so I didn’t like him being STUPID. It put me in a very tricky position of trying to keep a team that could only exist
with a boy’s team in place. Dumb Title IX. Luckily, with an eclectic group of teammates by your side like Apple, Cashew, Emma, Courtney,
and Angelina, whose backgrounds ran the gamut from a snow ski jumper to a Cirque de Soleil contortionist, every challenge
is welcome. Oh right, and of course "princess" Elissa. She was there too. Her dad funded our new gym so we couldn’t
get rid of her or her bad taste in leotards. She seriously picked a warm up suit with a pilgrim puppet hanging off the front.
Ugh. But I digress. With a group of determined girls, anything is possible. We fought
our way through NCAA rules, Gatorade episodes, crazy coaches gone to do television ads, agonizing falls and of course pesky
professors. Did we succeed? Let’s get gym-nasty and find out!
