KICKS · Our Game Plan
about us

Our game plan.

Every football team draws its plan on a board. This is ours: the five moves so far.

1

kicks-off

Pick-up football in Vienna is hard to find, and when you do find it you turn up to a half-empty pitch°. We got annoyed and started organising it ourselves.

2

keep playing

The first year barely held together: games fell through, people flaked. But there were loyal ballers who kept coming back. Now, thanks to our people, we play twice a week, NON-STOP.

3

who's on the pitch?

Pretty much everyone. Locals, internationals, students, office people. The level rises as our players do. Youngest so far: 15. Oldest: 64.

4

the takeover

When the admins were out of town, players took over: bringing bibs, collecting money, marking pitches°. Once the game is part of someone's week, we no longer have the luxury of cancelling it.

5

the test

Then winter: three months, no football. The next season turned out to be the biggest yet. By now: the second-largest football community in Vienna°, with in-house media production and corporate events.

that's kicks. we came to play.
