It might've been mentioned previously, but I've started on "The Kicks," an Amazon Prime original.  It's about a middle school girls soccer team.  While I'm sure it's designed to appeal to a younger audience, it is completely without the usual goofiness or silliness those types of shows usually include.  Thus it's palatable to all ages I would think.  A family relocates from Connecticut to California, the daughter is a stud soccer player.  Her old team was really good, her new team not so much.  Whole family is of course going thru trying to fit in in a new place.  It's well done.  The team is struggling to be taken seriously and given equal access to facilities as the boys team, so it's grounded in the reality of women's sports.

edit--It's based on a story by Alex Morgan, and Alex had a cameo in an episode.  Also it's pretty much a case of art imitating life with the lead actress, Sixx Orange.  She's a soccer player, and had relocated from Annapolis, MD to California only months before auditioning for the role.
