However, her masterful performance during experiment lessons catches the attention of Oliver, the most talented soccer player in the school, to make friends with her.

After hearing the news from Coach Smith that the school will not be sponsoring WOTB the upcoming year unless the team has stellar results, everyone is devastated as they think it is impossible for them to win any match.

Applying her science knowledge, Cory scores at the last minute of the match, and the team finally wins the title of the competition.

Filming of Back of the Net took place in Wollongong and Kiama,[3] including the Innovation Campus and Bombo Quarry since April 2018.

The Steve Jaggi Company has worked with the local council and Destination Wollongong (DW) to ensure the availability of the filming site.

[3] Back of the Net had its world premiere at the CinefestOZ on Sunday, 26 August 2018,[5][6] and was selected as part of the line-up for The Vision Splendid Outback Film Festival[2] in June–July 2019.

[12] Critical response to Back of the Net has been “fair,” and it has been described as the perfect mix of the coming of age films of the past with new plot points and character complexity.

There are great performances by the younger cast; some comic relief from the girls' soccer coach; and strong moral messages of friendship, teamwork, and acceptance."

Sandra Hall of The Sydney Morning Herald concluded that "Although the script gets much better treatment than it deserves thanks to the spirit and exuberance of a cast who seem delighted to be doing what they are doing, and the NSW south coast and its beaches add to the sparkling sense of well-being that permeates the whole film, the cultural cringe afflicting the plot is pretty hard to take.
