The story of the Out for Kicks society is a unique one.
This tale of the Vancouver-based LGBTQ2+ friendly soccer league that boasts of a membership of over 200 people, is one that spans past the field of play.
“The league is designed to make a safe space for soccer players. You do not necessarily have to be from the LGBTQ2+ community. It is based around friendly soccer and a lot around socializing and events as well,” says Director at Large (Veterans) Angus Shaw.
With the league celebrating its 30th anniversary, its history dates back to its earliest days as a casual kick-around league that has now grown extensively into an established competitive outfit that accommodates players of all skill levels.
