Teams play in the Michigan Premier Soccer League and tournaments throughout the country. Commitment Players and their families must be willing to commit to an average of 15 hours a week for practices, games and travel. Players may play other sports, but TKO coaches generally expect that players will attend all practices and games without conflicts with other sports or activities. The Fall Season usually runs from mid-August to the end of October. The Spring Season usually runs from mid-April to the end of June.
Teams practice twice a week in the Kalamazoo area.
Teams play an average of 10 games each season on Saturday or Sunday afternoons. Half of the games are played in the Detroit area, and most of the home games are played at the Kalamazoo Soccer Complex. Teams usually play 2-3 tournaments per season which may include the Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day. Tournaments are chosen to match the level of play of the team. All teams play in the KISS Tournament because TKO is now the host organization.
