Coaches FAQ
Multiple factors. We schedule games at Overland Park Soccer Complex (OP) and Swope Soccer Village (SSV) on the weekends that are designated for league. We schedule both of the synthetic complexes to 100% capacity first and then schedule games at Heritage Soccer Park. We work to give all teams games at OP and SSV. The number of games you receive is directly impacted by the which weekends your team takes off during the season, which weekends we have the complexes for league play, coaches conflict schedules as well as the conflict dates and coaching schedules for your opponents.
Yes. There are two things you can do.
-
- Add Friday night games to your schedule. You can add these nights when you register.
- You would need to be available to play on the weekends that we have the OP and SSV complexes for use. For example, in the upcoming Fall season, if your team is available to play the first weekends of August and teams in your division have agreed to play those weekends as well, most of your games will be at OP or SSV. Once we get deeper into the season, tournament play will dramatically reduce the number of league games at the turf complexes. We try to give teams as many games on turf as possible.
No. We base our seedings on information received from your team and try to allocate them to a division that we deem to be competitive.
Yes, it is based on stats from the season and division competitiveness.
We base the majority of our seeding on the results and stats from the previous season. Then we allocate special requests and new teams into those groups. Final seeding is completed by a seeding committee comprised of club technical directors and HSA Staff. The ultimate goal of seeding is to have teams play like competition.
