Heartland Announcements


 

 Heartland Soccer Association announces the acquisition of The Premiership and Champions League.

For immediate release

December 13, 2006 - Overland Park, Kansas

Heartland Soccer Association announces the acquisition of the Premiership and Champions Soccer League.

In the fall of 2006, Heartland and The Premiership jointly created The Champions League, which formed one of the most competitive soccer leagues in the Midwest. A record number of teams, exceeding 200, played in Kansas City’s top premier league. Today, the companies have announced the merging of league operations.

Premiership Sports league staff will join Heartland Soccer to administrate the combined soccer leagues with projected league participation of 700 teams each season. Huw Williams, President of Premiership Sports, will assume the League Director title and oversee all operations of both premier and recreational league play.

“This is a great step for youth soccer in Kansas City. There was a tremendous amount of synergy built between our organizations with the creation of the Champions League. Now, this merger brings highly experienced soccer personnel to help lead our association,” said Shane Hackett, Executive Director of Heartland Soccer Association. “There is no doubt the youth soccer community and our kids will benefit with two great soccer organizations coming together.”

“Having all the teams playing under the same organization makes a lot of sense and we thoroughly enjoyed working with Shane and the Heartland staff over the past season,” explained Huw Williams. “We are now looking forward to developing the very best soccer leagues for our youth teams.”

All soccer league operations will be relocated to the Heartland Soccer offices in Overland Park, Kansas and will be in place for the upcoming spring soccer season.
