Overland Park Soccer Complex

Livability named Scheels Overland Park Soccer Complex as the “Top Soccer Facility in the Nation” and it’s easy to see why. The complex features 12 state-of-the-art synthetic turf soccer fields with tournament-quality lighting and scoreboards. Combine that with a 16,000-sq.-ft. field house with tournament and official coordinator offices, a referees’ lounge, a large meeting room with high res digital signage, Wi-Fi coverage and free parking.

According to Elite Tournaments Co-Founder Matt Libber, “This is one of the best all-around soccer facilities I have been to. The 12 turf fields are perfectly placed in groups of four, and there’s plenty of parking for large events. It’s very easy to get in and out and navigate around the complex from field to field. It’s also right smack in the middle of the country with plenty of hotels in the area. You know when you go to an event at Overland Park you will have a good experience.”
