Sporting Rec. League

At the end of each Sporting Rec. League season, we ask parents to nominate a Sporting Rec. League volunteer coach that made a positive impact on their players this season.


Each Sporting Rec. League Coach of the Season will be honored at a select Sporting KC home match!

Here's what parents had to say about a few of our

Coaches of the Season

Kyle Martin

Kindergarten Girls

Garmin Olathe Soccer Complex


"Kyle consistently strives to provide our girls with a fun, quality experience. He is helping each player develop a passion for the game by utilizing a variety of drills.


Our daughter, who struggles with focus, has never been so driven about one thing.


Kyle goes out of his way to ensure the girls feel comfortable with each other. He has even hosted his own practice between sessions so we can stay in touch and keep the spark alive."

Ian Brennan

1st Grade Girls

Compass Minerals Sporting Fields


"Ian is so patient and understanding with our girls, not only games, but also at practice. He makes sure every girl gets a fair turn at playing without pressuring them.


He tells them all his number 1 rule is to have fun and it’s just been so amazing to see my daughter finally blossom on a team!"

Richard Zarate

3rd/4th Grade Boys

Central Bank Sporting Complex


"Coach Z went above and beyond with our players to teach them the sport, positions, and plays, but even more so, really worked with the kids on soft skills and sportsmanship.


Coach Z also tailored positions to meet the players where they are in the development of the sport. This was our first experience with the Sporting organization, but will definitely recommend others based on the excellent experience we had this season. Thanks again Coach Z for helping the players take something away from the sport for years to come."


Jon McDonald

1st Grade Boys

Central Bank Sporting Complex


"Coach B is an excellent coach. He's made the team much better through creating a fun environment, always have a great practice plan and focusing on skill development that fits their level.


They've learned teamwork, sportsmanship and celebrated.


Last weekend everyone on the team scored at least 1 goal!"

Jake Pitts

Pre-K Girls

Central Bank Sporting Complex


"Jake was incredible this season. He handled each child as an individual and was always patient, energetic, and very very communicative. He went out of his way to make the girls feel like they were a part of something special.


We are hoping that our daughter will have the opportunity to play for him again."

Jessica Brown

2nd Grade Girls

Garmin Olathe Soccer Complex


"Jessica has provided the correct culture and knowledge to the young girls that play for her.  She understands how to coach kids of all talent levels at the age group and the girls she coaches absolutely adore her.


They learn everything they need to know about soccer in a very positive way."
