Sporting KC Academy Affiliate All-Stars 2023
Each year, Sporting KC Youth Soccer invites the top Academy Affiliate players from the U11, U12 and U13 age groups to Kansas City. All-Stars participate in training sessions with Sporting KC Academy staff, small-sided scrimmages, and exhibition matches at Swope Soccer Village, the home of the SKC Academy and Sporting KC II.
This year All-Star Weekend was held June 30 – July 2 and featured over 150 players from 13 clubs across seven states.
Established in 2011, the SKC Youth Academy Affiliate program has grown to include 15 youth soccer clubs across seven states. The Academy Affiliate program offers player development pathway opportunities, coaching education, specialized events and experiences and unparalleled access to the professional club to players of all ages and skill levels.
Congrats to this year’s All-Stars!
