Youth Soccer Leagues at Our Merriam Headquarters

HappyFeet Soccer Merriam is the original and largest HappyFeet Kansas City location, serving families across Merriam, Shawnee, Mission, Roeland Park, Prairie Village, Fairway, and northern Lenexa. As the headquarters facility, Merriam offers the most class times, the widest age range, and all six annual league seasons — making it the most accessible option for Johnson County families seeking structured youth soccer for children ages 2 through 6.

Our leagues follow the Bob the Bobcat curriculum, a nationally recognized developmental framework designed specifically for toddlers and preschoolers. Every session combines structured skill-building with age-appropriate movement games — so your child develops coordination, confidence, and a love of being active, all in one hour or less.

Why start at age 2? Research from the Aspen Institute's Project Play shows children who participate in organized sports before age 6 are 3× more likely to remain physically active through adolescence. HappyFeet's developmentally appropriate format is designed to make that early introduction joyful — not stressful.

Frequently Asked Questions — Merriam Leagues

Have a question about leagues at our Merriam location? Answers to the most common ones are below.

Free parking is available in the surface lot directly in front of the building at 9701 West 67th Street. The lot accommodates most session times without issue. On busy Saturday mornings when multiple sessions run back-to-back, overflow parking is available along the side street adjacent to the building. Look for the HappyFeet Soccer signage at the entrance off West 67th Street.
All four HappyFeet programs offer leagues at our Merriam location: Little Toes (age 2), Big Toes (age 3), HappyFeeters (ages 4–5), and Future Legends (ages 5–6). Little Toes sessions are more class-format with introductory game elements, while Big Toes, HappyFeeters, and Future Legends include progressively more scrimmage time as age-appropriate. Merriam is the only Kansas City HappyFeet location with all four programs.
Yes! If you have a group of 5 or more children registering together, you qualify for our team discount and we will place them on the same team. This is a great option for neighborhood groups, preschool classes, or friend groups. Call Jackson at 913-851-9898 ext 238 to coordinate a group registration before spots fill.
Individual makeup games are not offered for league sessions. Because teams are formed and matchups scheduled for the full 8-week season, rescheduling individual absences isn't feasible. If your child misses a session due to illness or an emergency, we encourage you to contact our office — we'll do our best to help. Every registered player receives their jersey and end-of-season medal regardless of how many sessions they attended.
Your child's HappyFeet jersey is provided with registration. For their first session, bring shin guards (required for safety) and athletic shoes — cleats are not needed and not recommended on our indoor surface. A water bottle is strongly encouraged, as we take water breaks during every session. Dress your child in comfortable athletic clothes they can move freely in. That's it — we handle the rest!
Early bird pricing of $154 per season (saving $16 off the regular $170 rate) is typically available until approximately 3 weeks before the season start date. The exact cutoff for each upcoming season is displayed on the registration portal at webapp.happyfeetsoccer.com. Because Merriam is our most popular location with the most time slots, spots — especially in Big Toes and HappyFeeters — can fill several weeks before the season begins. We strongly recommend registering early.
