Head coaches are reimbursed at the end of the season after fulfilling their coaching commitment.


Only head coaches receive a registration discount.

Refund Policy


Participants may request a refund before the season begins. Refunds requested after the beginning of the season may be denied.


Refunds or adjustment of league fees will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Sporting Rec. League administration.


Administrative fees may apply.

Forming a Team


All registered players are assigned to a team for the season. During registration, you can either register an individual player or an entire team.


Player registering with a team will need to indicate their coach's name during registration. A player is only allowed to be rostered on one team per season.


Players that don't register with a team will be assigned to a team in their grade based on a combination of factors, including the school they attend, where they live and any special requests submitted during registration.


Registering a Team With Multiple Grades


If you're registering a team with players from different grades, you must register in the grade of the oldest player.


I.e., a team with Pre-K and Kindergarten players should register in the Kindergarten division.

Team Coaches


All teams are coached by parent volunteers. No previous experience is necessary and Sporting KC Youth Soccer will provide each coach with practice sessions, administrative support and guidance on coaching young players.


All coaches will be required to pass a background check and be SafeSport certified.

Jerseys


All participants from Fall 2023 will utilize their same jersey from the Fall Season if they play on the same team in Spring 2024. If players switch teams, a new jersey will be provided.


Jersey sizes are given out based on age group - we will offer size exchanges when possible, but cannot guarantee them.
