Mitchell Grady is the new boy at Sandhurst School. Every year, the students compete to be the school's Sporting Legend - the best out of eight sports. The series follows Mitch's quest to win the title, as he competes in a diverse range of sports: surfing, cricket, tennis, Aussie Rules football, soccer, basketball, athletics and swimming. But competition can show us at our best - and our worst - and it's not all fair play. For Mitch to hold his own in fierce competition, while still keeping his friends, might take a whole new set of skills.
