Promoting, Providing and Improving Youth Soccer in Kansas City Since 1979

League History

Since 1979, Western Missouri Soccer League ( WMSL ) has been the backbone of soccer in the Northland area. WMSL started as a fledgling organization of approximately 100 players founded by four parents who felt that there were no formal means or facilities for their children to be trained and to compete in the sport of soccer.

(We Think)

WMSL provides the structure for youth soccer from U6 through U19, both boys and girls. Players who found their beginning with WMSL have played in Missouri State High School championships and many have found college scholarships. Currently, with over 2,000 players, coaches and administrators, WMSL is one of the largest soccer leagues in the Greater Kansas City area and in the state of Missouri.
WMSL is pleased to see the growth of soccer in the Northland community and the growth of the players from its organization. Youth soccer is the largest and the fastest growing youth sport in the United States. WMSL is also experiencing this growth. To meet the needs of our League and our community, WMSL has purchased 96 acres at the southwest corner of I-435 and 76th St. between Gladstone and Liberty. We currently have 12 fields to accommodate all the age divisions in the league. It is our intent to create a premier facility right here in the Northland.
