For the film, one of the most difficult tasks is to find all the players from the twelve teams participating in the film. Football coach Metcalf conducted a wide search among American boys aged 10-12 and was able to be selected. One of the prerequisites is that you must have played on behalf of your school. As for the two small Italian foreign aids, Metcalfe went to Rome and found suitable candidates. In addition, Metcalfe also particularly emphasized that different teams should have different styles. Among them, the young actors who play the "Tigers" players have the highest requirements. They must control their own skills, be able to shrink and stretch, and have a solid basic foundation. ; And as the "Warriors" that has always been at the peak of the league, its players are naturally extremely talented stars, who were selected by Metcalf based on years of coaching experience
