Kansas Premier Soccer League was originally the premier league run by Heartland Soccer Association.That has since changed and KPSL (Kansas Premier Soccer League) is now one of six soccer clubs that are playing under the “umbrella” of Heartland Soccer Association. The word “League” is still part of the organization’s name for historical reasons. KPSL is considered the home of the independent team or club.

KPSL Members, KSYSA Players, Parents, Referees, Coaches and Administrators
 
From Joe Burger Executive Director Kansas Youth Soccer
 

We at Kansas Youth Soccer are continuing to work to improve the youth sports environment for our players, referees, and parents.  Many of the readings speak to workplace situations specifically but can easily be translated to situations within youth sports and on the sidelines of youth sporting events. 

Thank you for taking the few minutes to read each and thinking on how you can help us create a better environment for everyone involved in youth sports.

KPSL MEMBERS-
 
Reminder that Heartland Soccer has a deadline of January 3, 2022 at 12:00pm for the Heartland Spring league.  You can register for the Heartland Spring League on the Heartland website:  
 
 
For the 2021-22 season Heartland Soccer Spring League has a deadline of January 3, 2022 at 12:00 pm for registration. The deadline is the same for all KPSL teams playing in the league.  You will need to register your team on the Heartland site by this day. 
 
When you register your team and choose the KPSL member you will then get a confirmation at the end of the registration that tells you to mail your check to KPSL.  That information is not correct.  Just like the fall KPSL will send every team that registers for spring league with Heartland a link to pay for their individual team.  Please DO NOT send checks to the office.
 
Your payment is NOT due on January 3, 2022 like the Heartland confirmation says.  KPSL pays your fee for you and then invoices you. 
We can not invoice a team until we receive a notice from Heartland that you registered.  It can take up to a week to get an invoice sent to you.
Please do not worry, if you have the confirmation of your registration from Heartland then KPSL will take care of your fee and then invoice you for the payment.  We would ask that you get your payment into us as soon as you receive the invoice from us.
 
If you want to confirm this you can send an email to the KPSL registrar.
 
TEAM DOCUMENTS/PLAYER CARDS for spring 2022   
 
Heartland Spring league opening weekend is February 25-27, 2022.  All requests for player new team rosters and player cards is January 17, 2022.  New individual player cards needed by the first week of league will need to be submitted by February 14, 2022 to receive before league start date.
 
If your team was carded and rostered in the fall, they do not have to do it again in the spring.  Only new teams or new players. 
 
Forms on the KPSL website are the same as they were in the fall to submit requests for new teams or player cards.
 
 
Things to remember:
 
Heartland Registration deadline 1/3/22 12:00pm
 
New team roster/card request deadline 1/17/22 5:00pm
 
Individual player card request deadline 2/14/22 5:00pm
 
Anything received after these dates may not be ready for the first weekend of league play.
 
Feb. 25-27, 2022.
 
 
If you have any questions please contact Sheila Ozburn at Registrar@kpsl.org or 913-766-2196 ext 700 for assistance.
 
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
