Is Kansas City Soccer Club still a separate youth club from Kansas City Surf?The official site states that the former kCSC brand is now part of Kansas City Surf and Surf Nation after a 2025 merger, so competitive programming, tryouts, and registration now run through Kansas City Surf systems even though the Kansas City Soccer Club at Z Sports name still appears on kcsoccerclub.com.

About
Kansas City Soccer Club at Z Sports is the legacy Kansas City Soccer Club brand tied to the Z Sports complex in the Kansas City metro. The public site still welcomes families under the Kansas City Soccer Club at Z Sports name while stating that the former kCSC identity now sits inside Kansas City Surf and Surf Nation. That pairing matters for families who find the old kCSC name in search but need the current Surf registration, tryout, and team pathway details.
Facility and development focus
Z Sports operates a public indoor and outdoor sports complex at 707 SE Doc Henry Road in Greenwood, Missouri. Kansas City Soccer Club messaging describes it as a regional indoor and outdoor soccer setting built around individual player development within the team concept and with parent comfort in mind. Field rentals, memberships, and other facility programs are managed through Z Sports channels, while club soccer operations route through Kansas City Surf after the merger.
Merger with Kansas City Surf and Surf Nation
In an April 2025 announcement, Kansas City Soccer Club said it had merged with Kansas City Surf and joined Surf Nation, a national affiliate network. Club leadership described Z Sports as a Missouri headquarters for Surf’s Lee’s Summit and eastern Kansas City growth, with tryouts scheduled at Z Sports on Friday and Saturday for the Surf program families join through the current tryout flow. Surf Nation highlights national programming such as Surf Select identification for top players across affiliates.
Zoran Savic, described in the release as KCSC owner and a long-time Sporting Kansas City assistant coach, joined the Kansas City Surf executive board as part of the merger. Rob Million serves as president of Kansas City Surf, and Mousey Hargate is listed as director of operations for the Lee’s Summit side of the operation.
Programs families see today
Day-to-day competitive programming, age tracks, and league branding now follow Kansas City Surf’s Surf Nation model. Public materials reference developmental through elite tracks such as junior programming, pre-ECNL, ECNL Regional League, and NPL-level options, with camps, ID sessions, and club tournaments marketed on the Surf site. Families should confirm birth-year groups, team offers, and seasonal calendars on Kansas City Surf pages because those details change each cycle.
Tryouts, trials, and registration
The Lee’s Summit Surf page points families to PlayMetrics signup links for tryouts and directs players to sessions held at Z Sports. Kansas City Surf also describes individual tryouts and trial opportunities for players new to the area or moving up in level. Returning and new players alike should complete the online registration steps Surf publishes for each event rather than assuming walk-up placement.
Mission and partner network
Surf Nation language on the Kansas City Soccer Club site focuses on creating “best of the best” experiences and opportunities for youth players through clubs, events, and facilities, and on equipping partner clubs so coaches can concentrate on player development. Z Sports, Z Pub, and the legacy Kansas City Soccer Club site remain linked as partner brands in the footer navigation families still see on kcsoccerclub.com.
