Premier Soccer Program

SKV Premier Soccer

2024-2025 Season

SKV Premier teams are formed by age, ability, tryouts, and have assigned coaches. Teams will practice twice a week and play games in Kansas City on the weekends (depending upon the level of competitiveness and league enrolled). 

  • Additional Opportunities & Benefits

    • Premier players will have the opportunity to try out for and play on Elite 64 Regional League (boys) and the Development Player League (girls) teams.
    • Premier players have the opportunity to participate in specialized Sporting Kaw Valley mini-clinics developed and ran by the Sporting KC Coaching/Training staffs.
    • Premier Coaches will have the opportunity to work and train directly with the Coaching and Training staff of Sporting KC throughout the year.
    • Premier Coaches will have access to Sporting KC approved training curriculum and will incorporate this curriculum into their training and coaching.
    • Premier players and coaches will have the opportunity to participate in SKC Academy Affiliate member only training, tournaments and other events.
    • Premier coaches will have access to the Sporting KC training center (at Swope Park) and have opportunities to attend and watch the professional team practice.

  • Team Formation

    Our goal is to form teams with players who have similar abilities and experience at the same level of play. Tryouts will be used to determine a team’s make up, from year to year.  SKV Coaches are evaluated and assigned by our Director of Coaching to best match their individual credentials, experience, and strengths.  


    Sporting Kaw Valley offers two different types of competitive/ premier teams (“Local” and “United” based teams) for both male and female soccer players. Local teams are generally for U8-U9 age groups. For United teams, players will practice in two locations to make travel fair for all players.


    Our intention is to field at least one “United” team in every age group from U10-U19 in the both the Boys & Girls Premier Divisions. Multiple teams will be formed at every level where there are enough players.


  • Tryouts

    Premier tryouts will always take place during the 1st weekend after State Cup, which generally means the second weekend of June.  

  • Elite 64 Regional League for SKV Elite Boys
