Description

Footage of varying speed featuring scenes from football matches (possibly played near Tatton Park in Cheshire), a football practice session and boys performing gymnastic vaults. Slow motion scenes from an older lads' football match are followed by shots of a practice session for younger boys. In a gymnasium, boys vault over a wooden vaulting box with the aid of an instructor and the film ends with speeded up colour footage of another boys' football match.
