About KICKS

KICKS (Korean-Inspired Community for Kicking Sports) is a small Korean futsal club at UIUC for people who love the game. Playing together every week, we get to know each other naturally and build a tight-knit team, on and off the court.

Because KICKS runs on a competitive season league with fixed teams, we're looking for members with some prior game experience. KICKS is best suited for players who love futsal and want to compete, improve, and grow alongside their teammates.

What Makes KICKS Different

Season League with Fixed Teams

Members are divided into 3–4 teams that compete in a season-long league throughout the semester. Playing with the same teammates builds real chemistry, and teams are reshuffled mid-semester so you get to play with even more members.

A Close-Knit Community

We're more than just a place to play. By showing up and playing together every week, we get to know each other and create lasting friendships.

Friendly Matches with Other Teams

We play friendly matches against international student soccer and futsal clubs across UIUC, creating chances to meet new people and connect through the game.

Every Moment, Captured

We record every match through photos and videos, from full games to highlights, so the moments we share on the court become memories that last.

What We Do

Who Should Join

Freshmen, current students, transfer students, and graduate students are all welcome to apply. If you have game experience, love futsal, and want to compete, stay active, and make great memories in college, we'd love to have you.
