They are launched into a new reality when a meteor crashes on the field and gives them extraordinary powers tailored to their personalities.<\/p>\n<p>Their love for soccer transforms into a quest to protect their world from monsters and hold onto their identities as young athletes.<\/p>\n<p>While balancing school, friendship and their new heroic lives, the five of them confront insecurity, prejudice, school pressure and self-discovery. Ultimately, the show aims to break barriers in sports, media and culture and challenge norms and stereotypes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Shooting Stars<\/em> is about more than superpowers and soccer goals\u2014it\u2019s about strength, resilience and identity,\u201d said Julia Nikolaeva, a producer and general manager at Animotion. \u201cWe wanted to make a show that feels really for today\u2019s Gen Alpha\u2014a world where girls can be everything: athletes, dreamers, leaders, heroes.
