Start Times Changing on Sundays & Wednesdays

There are only 4 more Wednesday games left in 2015! In an effort to save daylight, we will move the start time back to 5pm. Please arrive as close to 5 as possible and the game will begin when we have enough players.

On Sundays, we will return to a 3:30 start time.

All games will remain at Maple Hills Park (85th & Switzer) through the end of the high school football season.

Hope to see you on the field soon!

I 'm from Togo in west Africa.

For fan, I support my country team, Les Eperviers du Togo.


How did you find the Youngs Park game?
I found the young park game because of my friend, Norris. We go to the same church (Jacob Well) and I was asking him to find soccer players so I could practice more.

Who Are Ya!! - 2015 Edition

As we begin 2015, it seems like as good a time as any to revisit a favorite feature of our group's blog: Who are ya!!

What follows is the original post from early 2011 [you can find all entries by searching the labels on the right-hand side of the page, or clicking here]:


This is a great idea suggested by Bob G:

We have played soccer together over the years, yet many of us don't know each other that well. In this section of the Youngs Park Blog, please share about yourself so others can get to know you. Keep in mind this is the Internet, so be careful posting sensitive information, but include as much as possible to let people know Who Are Ya!!

You can use the following questions as a starting point, if you like, or just write whatever comes to mind:

  1. Where were you born?
  2. If you were not born in the Kansas City area, when did you arrive and what circumstances brought you to KC?
  3. What team(s) do you support as a fan?
  4. What is your earliest soccer memory?
  5. How did you find the Youngs Park game?
  6. Can you tell us something about yourself that not everyone in the group would know?

If you would like to participate, please send me an email. I will run them in the order they are sent, posting one a week.

Hope you find this interesting!
