The story tells of the former Galactik Football champion Aarch, from the planet Akillian. Galactik Football is the football of the future, a very popular sport that sees the best football teams from all over the galaxy face off. Aarch formed the Snow-Kids, a team of young talents, which he selected after a series of hard training, with the aim of winning the Galactik Football Cup tournament. Aarch uses a particular fluid, able to enhance the characteristics of the players, but that they will have to be able to exploit to its full potential. The team is made up of D'Jok, a red-haired boy, with a very strong shot who manages to make incredible jumps. Rocket is a long-haired boy, grandson of Aarch, who acts in the role of director and prompter, as he makes perfect passes and is gifted with good individual technique. Tia is a shy and dreamy girl, but with an incredible agility that like D'Jok manages to make very high jumps with the ball between her feet and is gifted with excellent dribbling.

Micro-Ice is a very nice and young boy; plays attacking as it is equipped with incredible speed and becomes elusive to any opponent. Thran plays defense and is the strategist of the group: gifted with great intelligence, which perfectly matches his courage when the going gets tough. Mei is characterized by long hair gathered in a ponytail; acts as a defender, but does not disdain to participate in the attack maneuvers and score some goals. Finally we find the goalkeeper Ahito, who always seems indifferent to the game, but at the right moment he almost always manages to save the situation. Among the various collaborators of Aarch we find the bizarre scientist Clamp and the beautiful Simbai, with whom Aarch is in love.

The opponents of the Snow-Kids are terrible aliens from all over the galaxy. Among these we find the Cyclops, strange creatures with only one large central eye, thanks to which they can paralyze their opponents and control the ball with the strength of the mind. The Lightning, very fast aliens with great technique, in particular Warren the bomber of their team. The Rykers are mutant humanoids, who play very well, as they are very agile and aggressive. The Tecnhoids are a team of robots, almost impossible to beat because they adapt to all game situations and are able to change strategy based on the calculations they establish during the game, and they are also equipped with perfect technique. The team that most of all puts the Snow-Kids in difficulty is undoubtedly that of the Shadow coached by Artegor, a sworn enemy of Aarch. The Shadows take advantage of the talented Sinedd, once a Snow-Kids player and now switched to the other team for conflicts with his former friends.
Among the other characters of the series we find Brim Simbra, an alien head of the Flux company, the journalist of Arcaia News Callie Mystie and Nork Agnet the journalist of Akillian tv.

The series is characterized by being a mix between traditional animation and 3d graphics. The usual scenes were created as a common two-dimensional cartoon, but when players enter the field to play a game, the game scenes are made entirely in CGI, with realistic movements that exploit the motion capture technique.
