When attempts to raise money for a better field fall through, The Kicks challenge the boys soccer team to a scrimmage with the boys' soccer field as the prize.
Tropes
- The Bet: The boys soccer team bets their field on a game with The Kicks.
- Chekhov's Skill: Early on, Mirabelle demonstrates the ability to slip passes to Devin by taking advantage of the uneven field. This comes in handy during the final moments of the scrimmage.
- Double-Meaning Title: The title refers to both "taking the field" (as in going onto the field before the game) and the literal attempt by The Kicks to take the boys field.
- Epic Fail: The cupcake drive fundraiser not only failed, The Kicks lost money on it.
- Gamer Chick: The McBrides youngest child, Ashley, easily beats a complicated video game level that Bailey has been struggling with.
- Ironic Echo: When blowing off Coach Rivas's concerns about the girls' field, the boys soccer coach says that "a good team should be able to win on any field." When he later objects to playing the scrimmage on the girls' field, Rivas throws it back in his face.
- Off the Table: Averted. When The Kicks win the use of the boys' field, Rivas, Nice Guy that he is, re-extends his previous offer to share it.
- Shout-Out: Ashley has a Kit doll from the American Girls Collection.
