The team that wins the tournament gets a passport to compete professionally. At the beginning of the series, Rafa (André Lamoglia) escapes from the summer course imposed by his businessman father to try to win the CAOSS tournament. He forms his team including Billy (Bruno Astuti) and Jojo (Marino Cangucu) and that will eventually be called Juacas. The Red Sharks team is the main rival.
