MUMBAI: Nickelodeon US has announced that its new reality-meets-documentary four-part mini-series The Team will gave a basketball theme.

 
 
The show which kicks off next month marks the TV debut of 15-year-old platinum recording artist-actor Romeo (Romeo!) in his real-life role of aspiring professional athlete.

The show will track the progress P Miller Ballers team, coached by Romeo's dad, music mogul and actor Master P, on their quest to win the prestigious 14 and under AAU basketball championship.

The show will feature a close-up, behind-the-scenes look at young athletes on the road to the finals in Orlando.

The Team chronicles the boys' determination, challenges and life-changing experiences on and off the court. Under the leadership of P Miller and Coach Ivorie Manning, the P Miller Ballers practice, travel, laugh, argue and ultimately
bond.

Nickelodeon executive VP production and original programming Majorie Cohn said, "Romeo's fans are very familiar with the star's musical and comedic gifts. However there's a whole other side of this multi-talented young man that is exciting to see. The Team shows Romeo as the serious, hardworking and amazing athlete that he is, and it also gives a riveting look at real teens living out their dream of becoming star athletes."
