Presented by footballer, singer and songwriter, Chelcee Grimes, ‘Watch Us Rise’ tells the story of three young women, who love football but have all faced personal challenges in their lives but go on a journey to become BT Playmakers, making them confident leaders on and off the pitch. The series highlights how anyone can get involved in grassroots football by doing the course, giving people the knowledge they need to help support training sessions at a local level.

As part of the series, the BT Playmakers receive an experience that they’ll never forget, as they visit the Lionesses at St. George’s Park. Lioness stars Jill Scott, Georgia Stanway and Rachel Daly give the girls a masterclass with some skills sharpening sessions while also sitting down to answer any questions that the girls had for their heroes. Nikita Parris, one of the girls’ favourite players, makes a surprise appearance virtually. The BT Playmakers also receive a special strength and conditioning session from Senior Women’s Physical Performance manager, Dawn Scott and former Canada international, Rhian Wilkinson, who is now part of the Lionesses’ coaching team.
