Kansas is The Soccer Capital of America

Kansas has one of the highest per capita for children playing youth soccer in the nation.  In a city that’s as passionate about sports as Kansas, it only makes sense that locals have embraced a rapidly growing soccer culture that’s become an integral part of the regional sports scene. Plus, with the addition of a new, state-of-the-art training facility, Kansas has taken its rightful place as the national leader in soccer development.

The area boasts four world class youth soccer facilities with the new Garmin Olathe Soccer Complex, Scheels Overland Park Soccer Complex, Compass Minerals Sporting Fields and Swope Soccer Village. These soccer specific all-turf complexes are host to many youth soccer tournaments and home of Heartland Soccer, America’s largest soccer league.
