Kingdom Soccer was founded in 1995 and Kingdom Indoor Center (KIC) built in 2004

After the 1994 World Cup in the United States, soccer began to grow rapidly across the country. In 1995, Chris and Stephanie Keenan founded Kingdom Soccer. Originally, Kingdom Soccer featured a men’s semi-professional team that competed in the United Soccer League (USL) and played home matches at Mayor’s Riverfront Park from 1995 -2005. In addition to the semi-pro team, Kingdom Soccer trained youth players through outdoor camps, clinics, and club programs.

As Kingdom Soccer flourished, the need for an indoor facility became clear in order to support year-round programming. In 2004, Kingdom Indoor Center was built to become Kalamazoo’s premier destination for youth and adult athletics. Today, the 60,000-square-foot indoor facility features top-quality playing surfaces and programs for athletes of all ages and abilities. From youth soccer and flag football to lacrosse and skateboarding, Kingdom Sports offers fun, skill-building opportunities in a welcoming, family-friendly environment.
