Plot
It's a lovely sunny day, Peppa and her friends are in the school playground. Madame Gazelle walks up, and blows a whistle. She tells them a special person will come to teach them basketball. Daddy Pig is seen behind the children, they turn around. Peppa thinks he's there to pick Peppa up, so she tells him it's not home time yet. Suzy adds on, saying they have a special teacher coming. Daddy Pig tells the two that he's the teacher, the coach. He does many tricks with the ball, which amaze the children.
Peppa tells him the tricks are clever. Daddy Pig tells her to address him as 'coach', but instead she calls him 'daddy coach'. He then asks if anyone knows how to play basketball, which no-one knows how. He tells them that it's fun, and which you have to run, bounce the ball, and then throw it in the hoop. He does the actions he had said. Everyone is amazed once again by his skill.
Freddy thinks it'll be easy, so he grabs the ball and tries to throw it in the hoop. It bounces against the pole, which makes him upset. Daddy Coach tells them to play they have to train hard and keep fit. Suzy asks if he's fit, which he responds with that he's super fit. Peppa says he has a big tummy, which is 'pure muscle'. Everyone giggles at his response. He walks up to two cones, he's going to teach them how to get from cone 1 to cone 2.
Danny says he can do that, he runs up and kicks the ball. Daddy Coach tells him he doesn't use his feet, as that's football. Danny likes football. Daddy Coach shows him how in basketball he bounces the ball with his hands. Daddy Coach does so to show Danny how to play. He asks who wants a go at it, which Suzy does. Daddy Coach hands Suzy the ball, which she bounces carefully to cone 2. Daddy Coach tells her well done, and now everyone can try. Everyone starts bouncing a bunch of basketballs. He blows the whistle once again, to teach the children tackling. Suzy is confused on what tackling is. Daddy Coach explains tackling to Suzy. He tells George to try and get the ball from him. George grabs the ball and runs. Daddy Coach the tells him to throw the ball through the hoop.
George throws the ball backwards on accident, which Daddy Coach catches. He tells George he needs a bit more training on throwing it through the hoop. The children then have a practice game, which they all have to be on 2 teams. Danny says one team can be boys and the other girls. Boys against girls. Everyone runs around, giggling. The girls get in a line, and so do the boys. Pedro thinks how they have little ones on their team isn't fair, but Danny says they'll still win. Pedro says that their a super team. Daddy Coach blows the whistle and tosses the basketball, the match then starts. Emily balances the ball on her trunk. Peppa says that Emily is being unfair by using her trunk. Suzy shushes Peppa, cause Emily's on their team. Peppa then says it's fair. Danny then says it's not fair, and Pedro wants Emily on the boys team. Peppa says that she's on their team. Daddy Coach steps in and tells them to stop arguing. The children can be all on the same team. They wonder who they'll play, but just in time the grown-ups arrive.
He tells them they can play the grown-ups. Danny is confused, as the grown-ups are bigger than them. Daddy Coach says they'll do well, as they've been taught by him. They decide to play the grown-ups. The children's team and grown-ups' team. Daddy Rabbit says he's quite good at cricket, though they'll be playing basketball. Suzy says that you throw the ball through the hoop, Peppa adds that you can only use your hands, Emily adds you can use your trunk also, Danny ends the sentence off with you can't use your feet. Mr. Elephant has the ball, tackled by George, passed to Zoe, to Richard, and Peppa throws the basketball through the hoop. The children have won. All thanks to Daddy Coach.
Errors
- When Suzy Sheep was talking about Emily Elephant, Suzy's hand was gray and the other one was white. This may be a bug in Cell-action 2D.
- When Zoë Zebra is dribbling, she has the wrong type of tail (it turns into the same as Danny Dog and Candy Cat's tails).
