Youth soccer, T-ball and basketball leagues around KC that take kids under 6, from each league’s own page. They’re sorted by what you can do right now: sign up, get ready for sign-ups, or see what’s already playing. Anything a league hasn’t posted says “Not posted”. We recheck every league twice a month.

Before you go
AgesThe cutoff dateLeagues place kids by age on a set date, not on sign-up day. When a league posts it, it’s on the card.
Grown-upsOn the field or on the sidelineSome programs for the youngest kids need a parent playing along. The card says “With a grown-up” when the league does.
