Scheels Overland Park Soccer Complex — Attraction in Overland Park

We play here often because my son is in a team of one of the local soccer clubs. The facility is good, very accessible, parking can be a bit congested, however it's soccer in the suburbs so that is to be expected. The fields are very good as well.

I gave it three stars for two reasons: This place drives enough revenue to have water refill stations around the facility for players to refill their water bottles. To be fair, Paragon, Garmin, Compass and Soccer Village (Swipe KC) do not have watering stations either. There does not appear to be consistent criteria for providing water breaks for the players. My son plays on a 2014 team and myself along with other parents had to demand the teen aged referee provide a water break, which he reluctantly did. Earlier during the game one of the adult officials on a golf cart stopped by our spectator area and asked that we move back from the line so the referee would have a clear path, which makes perfect sense and we complied. However, when I asked him about a water break for the players he went on a diatribe about actual temperature, ambient temperature, bubble temperature, humidity, etc.... he babbled on and on about how 'they' (I don't know who 'they' are) were in discussion about water breaks???? Not a hard thing to benchmark and implement. Teenage referees are certainly an asset, particularly because there aren't enough adult referees to officiate games. They do need some form oversight to ensure games are being officiated congruently.

Like many other parents, my wife and I pay good money for club ball and we're not new to the competitive sports ecosystem as our three older kids competed in various sports club sports. With that being said, competitive clubs, facilities and for that matter many parents have forgotten that though the kids play parents PAY! While the ID sessions, try outs, ancillary club sponsored skills training sessions create the impression that membership is exclusive, it's not, money is the requirement. Youth sports is a $47,000,000,000.00 industry which is fine, as long as it's acknowledged. Because oftentimes the sentiment feels as though parents and their concerns are a burden when in fact we...

We regularly visit the soccer park for weekly practices and games, and it has been an incredible experience for our family. Located conveniently in the heart of Overland Park, this facility is a true gem for the community. It offers a fantastic opportunity for children and adults of all ages to get introduced to the game of soccer and develop their skills in a supportive and well-maintained environment.

The park itself is spacious and well-designed, with multiple fields that are always kept in excellent condition. The facilities cater to various levels of players, from beginners to advanced, ensuring that everyone has a chance to participate and improve. The staff and coaches are knowledgeable and passionate, fostering a positive atmosphere that encourages growth, teamwork, and sportsmanship.

One of the greatest benefits of having this park in Overland Park is that it provides a safe and engaging space for kids to be physically active. In an age where screen time often dominates, it’s refreshing to see children running around, exercising, and enjoying the sport in such a vibrant community setting.

Overall, we feel fortunate to have such an excellent facility so close to home. It’s more than just a place for soccer; it’s a hub for community engagement and physical activity that benefits everyone involved. Whether you're a player, a parent, the soccer park in Overland Park is a fantastic resource that we highly recommend to anyone interested...

You will not be disappointed this facility and fields are amazing! The turf is about 10 degrees above in the heat. It gets very hot. I would prefer this any day compared to Heritage Soccer Fields which should just be turned into a goat ranch. There are so many deep divots, holes and unevenness I cringe every time we play a game at Heritage because the fields are dangerous. If Heritage fields are wet you are even more at risk for injury. Scheels OPSC is a great facility. They need to turn down the heat on the water faucets in the bathroom. Parking can be a pain and dangerous especially the Field 9 parking lot. It is dangerous for your child to cross the street because entitled parents, who are evidently too good to park their car in a parking spot, choose to sit in their car right along the sidewalk waiting to pick up their kids.Traffic becomes clogged drivers waiting to leave become irritated and swerve into oncoming traffic. They would never see a kid who steps out in front of these illegally parked cars. There are even some real gems that park in the handicapped spots. Parking could used some help however, this is an amazing facility with wonderfully maintained fields and grounds. There are playgrounds for the kids which is a great addition.

I would say one thing missing is the automatic cold water fillers for water bottles or a thermos. If the Wyandotte fields have one we...
