A thoughtful, energetic teen-sitcom with heart, “The Kicks” follows the journey of 12-year-old Devin Burke—a standout soccer player whose life turns upside down when her family relocates from Connecticut to California. Eager to prove herself on the pitch and make new friends, Devin joins her new school’s soccer squad, the Kentville Kicks, only to discover the team is mired in a persistent losing streak and desperately lacking direction.

As Devin tries to rally her teammates, another challenge emerges—their coach leaves unexpectedly. Faced with approaching games and no adult to guide them, the team enlists the help of Pablo Rivas, the school custodian. Though tough and unpolished, Rivas brings empathy and determination, inspiring the girls in ways neither he nor they anticipated. WikipediaTV Tropes

Throughout the season’s ten fast-paced episodes, viewers follow a series of sporting setbacks and personal triumphs. From curfews and slumber-party mishaps to losing lucky charms, broken uniforms, and tense derby matches against rival schools—each episode underscores themes of leadership, teamwork, resilience, and growing through adversity.

Devin’s journey isn’t just about scores and standings—it’s an emotional one. As she learns to balance ambition with empathy, she also navigates new friendships, rivalries (especially with teammate Mirabelle), family dynamics, and the true meaning of being part of a team. The season culminates in a dramatic cliffhanger—Devin makes a winning penalty kick but injures her ankle in celebration, leaving her and the Kicks at a pivotal moment. WikipediaTV Tropes

Based on Alex Morgan’s book series, the show delivers a wholesome narrative filled with youthful energy, relatable challenges, and positive role models. With a mix of sports action and tween-friendly drama, every episode combines motivation, growing pains, and team spirit in one engaging package.
