Hamm gets producing kicks

Mia Hamm is teaming with Breaking Ball Films to produce a screen version of ‘Alive and Kicking: When Soccer Moms Take the Field,’ a book by New York Times sportswriter Harvey Araton.

Hamm will produce with Scott Abramovitch and Lonny Dubrofsky, and Abramovitch will write the script. The story is based on a women’s soccer team in Montclair, N.J., which was formed by mothers who were tired of standing on sidelines while their kids played.

Simon & Schuster published Araton’s book.
