Independent Premier Teams

INDEPENDENT PREMIER OVERVIEW

Our “IP” Program allows youth soccer teams that are already intact (potentially school teams, neighborhood teams, etc.) to have an attachment to a club for carding purposes, uniform ordering, practice locations etc.

*This is a team fee, split between however many are or on the roster*

The required items are KC Athletics blue jersey, blue shorts, white jersey, black shorts, and blue and white socks.  Backpacks, Training Pants and Jackets are also available through Soccer.com when ordering uniforms.

Please reach out to club.kcathletics@gmail.com so your team can be sent the information for the ordering process.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Players are carded for the full season (8/1-7/31). High School aged teams will pay for 1 outdoor season and non-high school for 2 seasons.

Teams can participate in our Winter League and pay the team rate at time of registration.

Teams can hold tryouts on their own and KC Athletics can assist with completing rosters after our tryouts are complete.

Independent Premier teams can join our KC Athletics' Techne Registration for $85 / team.  Techne is a player-centered app designed to help players grow their individual technique.  It also has resources for developing strong players both mentally and physically.  For more info on Techne, check out technefutbol.com.

If you would like your team to be set up in Playmetrics for calendar and team communication, there is a $30 per team.
