Details

Pip dreads every soccer match. His dad has pressured him into playing the sport and, at every game, argues with the refs and yells at Pip: "Don't cringe away from the bloody ball!" One day, riding his bike home from soccer practice, Pip stops at the "Igloo," a sports facility under preparation for its grand opening. Inside, Pip scales one of the climbing walls with ease and has a revelation: "Suddenly it all made sense. Climbing. Climbing! " Pip has found his passion, but he can't let his dad find out-his relentless competitiveness would ruin the only sport Pip has ever enjoyed.
