‘Back Of The Net’ Soccer Movie: Cast, Disney Channel Release Date, Trailer, Watch Online

In the midst of the FIFA Women’s World Cup, Disney Channel’s getting in on the soccer fun with the all-new movie, “Back of the Net.”

Premiering Saturday night on the network (and online on the DisneyNOW app), the Australian family film follows as “an ace science student eagerly sets out for Sydney to embark on a semester at sea aboard an advanced research vessel,” according to the synopsis. “But when she lands in Australia, she inadvertently boards the wrong bus, misses the boat and winds up at Harold Soccer Academy. She’s stuck there for the summer despite her disinterest in soccer.”

Before “Back of the Net” comes out, get to know the cast of the new Disney Channel movie.

The actress is best know for her role as Buffy Driscol on Disney Channel’s single-camera comedy, “Andi Mack.” She also guest-starred on Nickelodeon’s “Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn” as June for a few episodes in 2017. This is Wylie’s first movie role.
