Keep reading to learn more about all things The Soccer Lot before you head out for some pickup! 👇
The Soccer Lot, which opened in October 2015, features two (2) state-of-the-art indoor playing fields with synthetic turf that was most recently replaced in April 2024. Designed for both competitive leagues and private events, this vibrant space provides an inviting atmosphere for KC ballers of all skill levels to enjoy the sport they love.
As far as game sizes are concerned, each pitch is suitable for five-a-side, which is what The Soccer Lot is all about. You’ll find that both fields here are surrounded by dasher boards, which prevents the ball from going out of bounds. As a result, action is virtually nonstop, a detail that encourages and pushes players to their stamina limits.
Being that it’s 5v5, close-quarters skills as well as the ability to make quick decisions are also put to the test, naturally.
Whether you’re arriving for some pickup action or you plan on participating in their exciting leagues & tournaments that they’ve been hosting for well over a decade, just know you’re in good hands at The Soccer Lot.
In Fall of 2015, The Soccer Lot achieved their long-sought-after milestone of operating out of a full-fledged building. The years leading up to this were crucial to this dream turning into a reality, though.
The journey began in 2012 with just four teams and a portable boarded field, with founder Ian Mohrmann aiming to introduce the excitement of 5-a-side soccer to the Kansas City metro area. Over the next three years, they organized leagues & pickup games at various parks, sometimes even setting up in the street if it was necessary.
What this did was gradually grow their presence within KC; not only were local players learning about The Soccer Lot, but Mohrmann was gaining valuable experience when it came to running a successful business. Their events were very visible, so it didn’t take long for the word to spread.
Seeing these positive results, Mohrmann began searching for a permanent home for The Soccer Lot as early as 2013. Two years on, he set his sights on a formidable candidate: a 25,000 square-foot building, previously a Coke bottling facility. After some necessary renovations, the space was revamped for only the very best 5-a-side in town.
The doors of The Soccer Lot opened to the public in October of 2015, much to the approval of their loyal members that had been playing with them since 2012.
It’s been nearly a decade since that moment, and little has changed. The Soccer Lot has fully transformed into one of the most iconic places to enjoy the beautiful game in all of Kansas City, offering a welcoming, vibrant environment for all soccer lovers.
Is their mission in full effect? We would say so. Is it over? Not even close.
