Kickup11 started with a simple problem: putting together a pickup game is harder than it should be. Chasing people down over text, playing short because someone bailed last minute, never knowing who's actually showing up.
We built a better way.
Kickup11 is a platform for recreational soccer players who want to host open pickup games and find fill-ins fast. Whether you're organizing a weekly run or a league captain scrambling for a sub the night before kickoff — this is built for you.
Post a pickup game in seconds. Set your field, time, format, and roster size. Players RSVP, the waitlist fills automatically when you're full.
Someone drops the night before your league game? Kickup11 instantly notifies available players who match your position and skill level. First to claim gets the spot.
Short a player for a game that isn't even on Kickup11 — your league, a private run? Create a shareable sub-request link, drop it in any chat, and approve exactly who fills the spot.
See who's in, split into Home and Away teams, track your history. Everything in one place — no group chats required.
It's not just games. Post a watch party for the big matches, rally your crew, and see who's coming — RSVPs, not guesswork.
Hi — I'm Ross, and I built Kickup11. It's not a startup with a team behind it — just one person in Michigan. I'm a former player, and I've still got a lot of soccer people in my life — so I keep seeing the same gaps up close: scheduling games, keeping track of who's actually playing, getting hold of everyone when plans change. The game itself is the easy part; the logistics around it are a mess.
Sorting out that kind of logistics is what I do. So I built the tool I'd want if I were running a game: one link, a real headcount before you go, teams sorted for you, no app to download. It's free, and it stays free to play.
My promise on your data: I will never sell it, and there are no ads. I collect only what's needed to run your games — your name, email, and a few profile basics — and nothing more. You can delete your account and everything tied to it anytime. The full details are in the Privacy Policy, written in plain English at the top.
Got a question, a bug, or an idea? Email me directly at hello@kickup11.com — it comes straight to me.
Recreational soccer players in their 20s–40s who play regularly and want the logistics handled so they can focus on the game. Organizers who host weekly pickups. League captains who need a reliable sub finder. Players who just want to know when and where the next game is.
If you've ever played a 9v11 because half the group bailed — this is for you.
