Under the management of a "magical" baseball coach, youngsters learn the skills they need to assess when they are in a healthy relationship, how to stand up for themselves and their values, and resolve their conflicts constructively using positive communication skills. This upbeat, hands-on workshop is designed to teach children the life skills that will help them build and maintain healthy relationships. Looking At Relationships: The coach helps Danny evaluate his relationship with Jake by having him look at a variety of other relationships -- some healthy, some not. Standing Up For Yourself: Grace is having trouble resisting the pressure put on her by her friend Aya to raid her older sister's belongings. The coach shows Grace how to speak up for what she believes is right and still keep her friend. Resolving Conflicts: The coach helps Samantha and Dylan resolve a dispute that develops between them while they are bowling. After all, she says, conflicts during sporting events are "right up her alley."
