This is a film of students from Odsal House School for the Deaf in Bradford practicing for cross country running, followed by three cross country races and also a boys five-a-side football game. Title – Just a Practice The film begins with a group of girls in their sports gear waiting to set off in turn on a cross country run.  They set off with a gap in between each runner, but soon some are overtaking others as they run around the school playing fields.  At the end they sit to rest, posing for the camera.  On the wall there is a stop watch.  They walk back up to the school.  Then a group of boys are playing five-a-side football.  Intertitle - Sixteenth Yorkshire Schools Cross Country at Peel Park on the 5th February 1972. People have gathered in the park, and the girls’ race gets underway.  As they go around the field gets stretched out.  Runners and spectators leave at the end of the race, some queue for refreshments.     Intertitle – Leyburn There is another girls' cross country race starting at a large school.  They rest at the end of the race and get onto coaches.
