SPECIALIZING in COMPETITIVE, MULTISPORT ATHLETES
KC Storm Competitive Youth Sports of Lee's Summit is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth sports organization founded in 2018 with the mission to develop competitive, multisport athletes who learn to give back to their community and to the game. We specialize in coaching the total athlete one season at a time.
Fundamental Principles:
Athletes under the age of 14 should be able to be kids along with being athletes; they should not have to specialize in any one sport, but rather they should be able to play a variety of sports and have time for family, friends, and other activities.
Focusing on only one sport per season and different sports throughout the year will:
Help prevent burnout
Limit overuse injuries
Develop athletes instead of single-sport specialists
Maintain a love of the game in all sports
Every fundamental skill taught transfers from one sport to the next--skills like: speed, agility, balance, footwork, explosion, hand-eye coordination, endurance, communication, situational awareness, and competitiveness.
Developing well-rounded, multisport athletes will better prepare them to compete at the high school and college level.
Program Design:
KC Storm Youth Sports of Lee's Summit provides an alternative option to competitive clubs which require a year-long commitment and demand a significant financial and time investment.
KC Storm athletes will have the opportunity to focus on only one competitive sport per season:
GIRLS SOCCER and BOYS SOCCER (Tryouts in June)
Speed and agility training, warm-up and recovery drills, and the mental aspect of the game will be taught and emphasized in every sport.
Tryouts will be held prior to the start of each sport season, and the players will be offered a spot based on a combination of athletic ability and coachable attitude.
KC Storm athletes do not have to participate in all three sport seasons; every athlete can choose to tryout for either one, two or three of the KC Storm competitive teams. However, during each season, the KC Storm team should be the priority activity of the athlete. This will ensure we have maximum attendance at practices and games, and therefore we can keep the number of athletes on the roster low to allow for significant playing time and individual instruction.
KC Storm coaches have played the sport at highly competitive levels, and have coached youth, club, high school, and college sports.
