Paragon Star, a multi-purpose sports and entertainment development, announced today that KC Scott Gallagher will serve as their anchor youth soccer club. With the advantage of the Paragon Star Sports Complex facilities, KC Scott Gallagher will be able to provide a best-in-class environment for its club members to sharpen their skills and continue to grow their brand of soccer.
Unparalleled Athletic Experience
Paragon Star is committed to creating an athletic experience like none other – which means fostering an exciting environment for players, coaches and fans that features the most advanced, professional products and technology available.
At the cornerstone of the complex will be ten FIFA-quality pro soccer fields uniquely designed to lower the critical safety impact rating and keep the turf cooler on hot summer days. Each field will feature Brock USA safety shock pads, AstroTurf’s renowned LigaTurf soccer turf system and LED lights.
Kansas City’s Premier Youth Soccer Organization
KC Scott Gallagher is Kansas City’s premier youth soccer organization with more than 100 teams consisting of more than 1,600 male and female athletes ranging from 5-19 years old. The club is affiliated with St. Louis Scott Gallagher and is currently ranked at state, regional and national levels. The club’s players have been recognized for their excellence with hundreds of local youth earning athletic scholarships at the NCAA Division 1, 2, 3 through NAIA or Junior College levels.
“In selecting an anchor youth club, we were continuously impressed with the KC Scott Gallagher program – from local to national-level wins to a curriculum focused on developing well-rounded athletes on and off the field – they continue to amaze us,” said Flip Short, CEO of Paragon Star. “This has been an ongoing conversation for the last few years, but we are thrilled to make it official and have signed a long-term agreement.”
Aligned Core Values
KC Scott Gallagher is driven by their “5 Shield Values” of tradition, humility, respect, unity, and passion. These values have created a positive club environment that not only celebrates the sport, but also promotes youth development through a blended focus on individual skills and age-appropriate tactical training. This approach to the sport is parallel to Paragon Star’s mission to provide a best-in-class sports complex that integrates innovation, safety and fun in a place designed for play.
“We see this as the perfect partnership as our key values align. While we are thrilled for our athletes to play on some of the best fields in the nation, we are more excited about the positive culture and community impact that both organizations can provide together,” Chris Travalent, KC Scott Gallager’s president said. “Our fall season just got even more fun.”
