Each year, Sporting Kansas City players and coaches make appearances at community and corporate events. Although Sporting is eager to reach every fan, their availability due to training, travel and games is limited. If you are interested in having a member of Sporting participate in your event, please review the guidelines and submit a request below.
Guidelines
Please refer to the Sporting Kansas City schedule prior to submitting your request, as appearances will not be scheduled on the following:
- Game days
- Day before games
- Travel days
- Player "Off" days
- No appearances before 1:00 p.m. during training
When considering appearance requests, we adhere to the criteria listed below:
- Incomplete requests will not be considered.
- All requests must be received four (4) weeks prior to the event.
- NO Career days
- Wide reaching impact (to maximize player time)
- Clearly defined role for the player (i.e. speak to the school, hand out awards, etc.)
- No activities with risk of injury
- Purpose separate from player's attendance. We recommend that your event NOT center on a player's attendance, but have them serve as a complement to the overall event.
