With over 170 different soccer clubs competing annually, the league ensures that players and teams have ample opportunities to compete against opponents of similar ability at every age level.

Shane Hackett, Heartland Soccer's executive director, expressed his excitement for the upcoming Fall season, stating, "I was a little surprised to see the record number of teams registering for league.  Our goal was to maintain our current numbers as the league has been running at close to full capacity for our four complexes.   We continue to see growth in the younger age groups and more teams traveling to Kansas City to experience our world class facilities and play teams from around the Midwest.  We extend a warm welcome to all our players, coaches, referees, and parents, as they return to the soccer complexes.”
