What is Just for Kicks about?

Hoof the unicorn dreams of playing football, but his old club never saw his talent and kicked him out. Then he discovers an advert for BAD UNITED, a team made up of players other clubs have rejected. With a mermaid coach, a skeleton captain, a dinosaur defender, a cheetah striker and a fairy midfielder, Hoof finally gets his chance. But can this wonderfully chaotic team work together, survive their first match and prove that everyone has something special to offer?
