About Our Lee's Summit Location
Our Lee's Summit location serves as KC Legends' eastern metro hub, bringing our development methodology and coaching quality to families in Lee's Summit, Blue Springs, Independence, Grain Valley, and Raymore. Conveniently accessible from I-470, Highway 50, and Highway 291, the location serves the growing eastern Jackson County youth soccer community.
The Lee's Summit facility is an outdoor training venue. For families seeking indoor training access, our Merriam headquarters at 9701 W 67th St, Merriam, KS 66203 features a climate-controlled indoor facility with turf fields. The drive from Lee's Summit to Merriam is approximately 30-35 minutes via I-470 West to I-435 North. Many competitive team families make the trip to Merriam for indoor winter sessions.
The Lee's Summit area has experienced rapid growth over the past decade, and demand for quality youth soccer programming has grown with it. Before KC Legends established this location, families in the eastern metro had limited options for elite-level soccer development without driving to the Kansas side. Our presence here ensures that every child in the KC metro has access to the Legends Method, regardless of which side of the state line they call home.
For competitive players, game days in the Heartland Soccer Association take place at venues across the metro. Some games will be close to home, while others may be at the Scheels Overland Park Soccer Complex or other western-metro venues. This is standard for competitive youth soccer in a metro area as large as Kansas City.

The KC Legends Difference
Lee's Summit families have several youth soccer options in the eastern metro. What makes KC Legends different is our development-first philosophy and our decades-long track record of producing college-level players. Our Legends Method focuses on individual technical mastery and creative decision-making rather than rigid tactical systems. We want players who can think on the field, not just follow instructions.
Since 1989, KC Legends has produced over 400 college soccer players who have earned more than $8.8 million in athletic scholarships. We have won 14 national championships and more than 50 state titles. Our 40+ professional alumni demonstrate that the Legends Method works at every level of the game.
Our complete player pathway from age 2 through 19 means your child never needs to switch clubs. They start in HappyFeet, progress through Jr. Legends and recreational programs, and seamlessly transition into competitive travel soccer. This continuity of coaching philosophy and player relationships is a massive advantage that single-age-range clubs cannot replicate.
“When Legends opened the Lee's Summit location, it was a game changer for us. My son had been driving to Merriam three times a week, which was a lot. Now he trains locally most of the time and only makes the trip for indoor sessions in winter. The coaching quality is the same at both locations because it is all one system. He has grown so much as a player and loves being part of the Legends culture.”
