UMKC Quick Facts

2008 Roster

The longest tenured and most successful coach in UMKC men’s soccer history, Rick Benben is beginning his 11th season at the helm. Under his guidance, UMKC teams have captured two Mid-Continent Conference soccer championships and made two appearances in the NCAA College Cup. Benben, the fourth head coach in the Division I era for UMKC, begins the 2008 season with 73 wins to his credit. He has had more than 40 players named to all-conference teams and seven to all-region squads.

UMKC qualified for The Summit League Championships in 2007, the second consecutive appearance and the ninth of his career. He has compiled a record of 29-24-2 in league play, claiming three Coach of the Year honors. The most recent accolade came on the heels of the 2003 season. The Kangaroos finished the campaign with a 10-7-3 overall record (5-1-0 conference) and an appearance in the NCAA College Cup. The Kangaroos captured the first league “double” in school history as they finished atop the regular season table before capturing the conference tournament championship.

On the 2001 campaign, Benben led his team to the best season in UMKC’s Division I history, putting together a 12-7-1 overall record and winning the first league tournament championship in school history. With their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament, the Blue-and-Gold picked up the only NCAA Tournament win for any team sport, knocking off UW-Milwaukee in the first round by a 2-1 overtime scoreline.

In addition to his success with UMKC, Benben has a storied soccer career. As a player at Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, he was a three-year letterwinner at goalkeeper, backstopping the squad to a national championship in 1972.

Benben became an assistant coach at SIU-E after his graduation in 1973, helping to lead the team to another national championship in 1979. In 1982 he became assistant coach and director of player personnel for the Kansas City Comets of the Major Indoor Soccer League. He was named head coach of the Comets in 1984, midway through the 1983-84 season. His squad recovered to finish fourth in the Western Division, falling in a five-game playoff series to the St. Louis Steamers. During his tenure with the Comets, he missed the playoffs just once, during the 1986-87 season, his final full season with the team.

Since 1987, he has been the director of Rick Benben Soccer Camps in Lenexa, Kan., helping to educate young elite-level soccer players during the summer. He received his bachelor’s degree in physical education and health in 1973 and a master’s degree in education administration and supervision in 1976, both from SIU-E.

Benben and his wife, Meg, have three children: Matt, Rachel and Andrea. The Benbens reside in Lenexa, Kan.

2008 Players

Looking ahead to the 2008 season, head coach Rick Benben has reason to be optimistic as he enters his sec-ond decade at the helm for UMKC. Despite losing three members of the back line from 2007, there is confidence that the players returning will be able to step up and fill the void. Ken Cooper made a quick mark on the UMKC re-cord books despite missing the early part of the 2007 campaign and will return in the number one shirt. Chris Markey and Brian Quintana both look to grow into a central back role after successful freshman campaigns, with Matt Kopsky returning on the wing. On the opposite wing, junior John David Hernandez will be the grizzled veteran of the unit, providing a solid leadership presence.

“We’re really encouraged after the spring season,” said Benben. “You’re always concerned as you enter a new season. Cooper’s performance from the end of the fall through the spring season stayed at a high level, and Chris and Brian looked solid in the center of the back line in our spring games. Even if that doesn’t hold up, John David has the experience to give us another option in the center. With Kopsky returning on the opposite side, we’re happy with the way our back line looks.”

Although youth may be a concern, with four of the five members of the defensive unit in just their second year of action, Benben is quick to dispel any concerns.

“It’s certainly a young back line, but they’re a very talented group. They have a lot of athleticism and

good technical ability.”

Offensively, 2008 shows promise as a breakout year for UMKC. The Kangaroos struck for 27 goals in 2007, good for third in The Summit

League. UMKC’s top three goalscorers - senior Garret Guthrie, junior Bryan Perez and sophomore John Bayron Sosa - all return for the 2008 season, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Brian Harris also returns for his senior season looking to shake off a bit of an unlucky streak. The speedy striker led the team with 46 shots (18 on goal) but also led the team with shots blocked and goalposts hit (seven and five, respectively). Midfielder Caleb Mitchell also returns for his senior season after missing 2007 due to injury.

“You can look at our goalscoring with Perez, Sosa and Guthrie all returning, but if you talk to our opponents, the player they were most worried about was Brian Harris,” said Benben. “I think Brian was just unbelievably unlucky last year with hitting goalposts, crossbars, hitting the goalkeeper when he wasn’t looking.”

The addition of junior transfer Levi Coleman will give the Kangaroo offense a bit of a different complexion in 2008. Although he has a quickness that will pair well with Harris up top, Coleman’s height will also give the Blue-and-Gold different options on set pieces. Additionally, the partnership should allow for more flexibility in the middle of the park for the Kangaroos.

Sosa and Perez again look to line up as the playmaking tandem for UMKC, controlling the Kangaroo offense and feeding Harris and Coleman up top. Miguel Rodrigues also returns in the midfield, with Guthrie and Mitchell rounding out the line. The transition of Guthrie from forward to an outside midfield role should give Benben a different attacking option.

“Adding a little more firepower up front with Levi should give us a little different look in the

2008 Outlook

2008 Preview

midfield,” said Benben. “Last year, Chris and Miguel did a fine job for us on the wings, facing up on the attack and creating options. With Garret moving to the wing and Caleb coming back, that gives us some ability to get in behind the defense and create as well.”

UMKC’s freshman class, while small, also shows promise for the future. Although Benben and assistant coach Fred Schlichting added just four freshmen for the 2008 season, each was a big win for the program. Kansas City, Mo., product Benson Owere is slated on the roster as a forward, but his versatility is a strong point for Benben. Midfielders Sean Butler and Jimmy Hangyal both join the Kangaroos following successful youth careers in the St. Louis area, with both players selected to the Missouri Athletic Club All-Star Game squad representing the southern half of the St. Louis metro. The final freshman highlights the continued growth of UMKC’s recruiting base under Benben’s oversight, as Diego Rojas joins the Kangaroos from Solar SC in Dallas, Texas.

“Going into the season, I’m confident in our freshmen,” said Benben. “Benson has a lot of speed, but he’s also a very versatile player that could play in any position - except goalkeeper - for us this season. Diego is a goalscorer, and Sean and Jimmy are both solid players from a strong soccer community. I think our team is in a much better position going into this season than we have been over the past few years.”

The schedule will do UMKC no favors, however, as the Blue-and-Gold hit the road for the first seven

matches of the season. The slate kicks off with a visit to 2007 NCAA College Cup quarterfinalist Illinois-Chicago

on Friday, August 29, followed by a rematch of the 2007 UMKC/

Mr. Goodcents Brookside Invitational with Eastern Illinois on Sunday, August 31. The next week finds

the Kangaroos making a

return visit to sunny Florida to take on Florida International and Florida Atlantic, only to continue the road swing with a Saturday, September 13 visit to Creighton, the second 2007 NCAA College Cup participant on the Kangaroo’s docket. UMKC wraps up the road swing with its only tournament of the season, taking on Gonzaga and Oregon State. Benben is confident, however, that his squad will be up to the challenge.

“We understand that we have a tough road through September, but I think we’ll play well; hopefully we’ll get the results to go with it,” he said. “We want to have the kind of a program that can handle that type of schedule. The biggest part of the process comes down to making sure that we eat properly and get enough rest - the little things so that we can be mentally and physically prepared.”

“Every one of those places we’re going is a good environment,” said Benben. “We start off at UIC, a program that was in the Elite Eight last year. Then we play Eastern Illinois, a game that we thought we ‘coulda, woulda, shoulda’ won last year. We go back to Florida again, which is good for our kids. Closing out the swing we head to Creighton, who is always a strong program, as well as Gonzaga and Oregon State - both high-profile teams. That should set us up well for our league schedule, which is always tough.”

If everything holds up as expected, the Kangaroos should have no trouble returning to The Summit League Championships for the 13th time in UMKC’s 14 years of membership in the league, and will have an excellent shot at returning to the NCAA College Cup for the third time in the program’s history.

Now in its 27th year as an NCAA Division I athletics conference, The Summit League is in its second year under that name. In May 2007, the Presidents Council embraced the Summit Plan, a strategic plan that places a renewed emphasis on improving the academic and athletic performances of all its student-athletes. Included in the plan was the creation of a new image of the league and the unveiling of a new name. The Summit League is the third name the conference has held as an NCAA sanctioned league.

The Summit League’s 10 member schools are Centenary College of Louisi-ana, IPFW (Indiana University-Purdue University-Fort Wayne), IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis), UMKC (University of Missouri-Kansas City), North Dakota State University, Oakland University, Oral Rob-erts University, South Dakota State University, Southern Utah University and Western Illinois University. The member schools pride themselves on pro-viding quality athletic, academic and social experiences for their student-athletes.

The Summit League sponsors 19 championship sports, which include: base-ball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s swimming & diving, men’s and women’s indoor track & field, men’s and wom-en’s outdoor track & field, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball.

2008 Preview

Kansas City Parks and RecreationIn addition to the Kangaroo’s success on the field, one of the hallmarks of Rick Benben’s tenure has been a commitment to giving back to the community. During the spring practice season allocated by the NCAA, the UMKC men’s soccer team sets aside several of its allowable practice hours to act as mentors for the Kansas City Parks and Recreation Youth Soccer League. Players serve as trainers for one practice session a week for interested teams, working on technical and tactical skills with the teams as well as serving as role models for the youth, many of whom come from historically disadvantaged neighborhoods in Kansas City.

The Kangaroos began working with the Parks and Recreation Department in 1998, and have continued to this day.

Moving Forward/Giving Back

The Stanley H. Durwood StadiumOn April 9, 2008, Director of Athletics Tim Hall launched a new era in UMKC Athletics with the announcement that the Stanley H. Durwood Foundation and its trustees Raymond F. Beagle, Jr. and Charles J. Egan pledged a $5 million gift to the UMKC Athletics Department for the construction of a new soccer stadium in the heart of UMKC’s Volker campus.

The Foundation’s leadership gift represents the largest single commitment to UMKC Athletics. The competition venue of the Stanley H. Durwood Stadium is anticipated to be completed for the new UMKC women’s soccer program’s first game in 2009. The entire complex is slated to open in the spring of 2010.

The facility will provide the Kangaroos with one of the top soccer facilities in the Summit League and the Midwest. In addition to serving the student-athletes, the facility will play home to student intramurals, and it will also host approved community partners. The signature facility also calls for the construction of locker rooms and offices that will benefit the UMKC men’s and women’s soccer, softball and men’s and women’s track and field programs. It also will feature a premier four-lane track and a concession area.

With the timeframe for the stadium’s completion being concurrent with those of other campus capital projects, the momentum generated by its construction will invigorate comprehensive support for UMKC. The project, along with Oak Street West, the Student Center, the Miller Nichols Library expansion and the Conservatory of Music and Dance’s Performing Arts Center expansion will all change the face of the Volker campus.

Stan Durwood was one of the University’s and the athletic program’s most ardent supporters. His affiliation with UMKC began when NCAA Division I participation was a pipe dream. Durwood’s enthusiasm for UMKC Athletics continued through admission into Division I and the Mid-Continent Conference. In 1994, he was awarded the Chancellor’s Medal, the highest non-academic honor the University can bestow upon a community member.

Durwood also helped establish an endowed scholarship for UMKC student-athletes. The Durwood Foundation has also been and continues to be involved in a number of UMKC initiatives.

Director of Athletics Tim Hall announced the largest single gift ever received by UMKC Athletics, a $5 million pledge from the Stanley H. Durwood Foundation towards the construction of the Stanley H. Durwood Stadium.

Editor’s note - The historical statistics for UMKC men’s soccer are incomplete. Over the course of the 2008-09 school year, the UMKC Sports Information staff will be attempting to compile a more complete record of the history of Kangaroo men’s soccer.

Kangaroo Single-Season Stat Leaders

Former UMKC men’s soccer player Geoff Miles helped the Kansas City Wizards to a 2-1 win

over Mexican Primera Division side Atlas AC de Guadalajara on Friday, July 10, 2008 at Community America Ballpark. The former

Kangaroo replaced midfielder Lance Watson just before stoppage time, with

the Wizards scoring the game-winner in the second minute of added time.

Miles, who played for UMKC from 2001-2003, has been training with the

Wizards throughout the 2008 Major League Soccer campaign. He has

served as a guest player in the MLS Reserve division, appearing in two

matches for the Wizards. He has tallied a goal in the league, scoring a game-tying goal

in Kansas City’s 2-2 draw against New England on April 10.

The Shawnee, Kan., native finished his career

at UMKC with 49 starts in 56

appearances. He recorded 13 assists,

good for fourth on the career ranks

for the Kangaroos, and was a member of both Mid-Con Tournament champion squads for the Blue-and-Gold.

UMKC History

When choosing a mascot, the discussion usually starts with three main categories - predatory animals, historical or regional figures, or humans that represent power and strength - and ends with a collection of the usual suspects. Thanks to Walt Disney, The Kansas City Star and the Kansas City Zoo, UMKC has a very unique mascot, but how exactly does the Kangaroo fit? As it turns out, quite well.

In 1936, the issue of a mascot was first brought up by the editors of The University - the campus newspaper for Kansas City University. Although there were no organized intercollegiate athletics teams at the time, the newspaper staff felt that KCU’s debate team - and more importantly the school itself - deserved a unique identity. During that same year, the Kansas City Zoo purchased a pair of baby Kangaroos, and The Kansas City Star lit the fire with an article titled “Kangaroo May Go To KCU ... Student Editors Believe University Should Have A Symbol.”

Others on campus were not as enthusiastic. The editors of The Crataegus - the University’s yearbook - thought that a Kangaroo was not an appropriate symbol for KCU. A proposed feature page in the 1936-37 yearbook for the Kangaroo emblem was deleted, sparking a tremendous amount of debate.

As the debate wore on, interest from the campus community began to wane. It looked as if KCU would not adopt a mascot after all. But in 1937, two events would combine to indelibly link the Kangaroo with the University and give the mascot a name.

During the student government elections in the spring semester, the CO-OP Party adopted the Kangaroo as its official mascot, naming him Kasey. With a landslide victory in April behind the slogan “Kasey fits KC”, the first part of the foundation was laid. During the same month the first issue of KCU’s humor magazine - The Kangaroo - was published, with a kangaroo gracing the cover. Six months later, a kangaroo made another appearance on the cover of The Kangaroo, and although it wasn’t a solo appearance, it put a quick end to the debate over whether a kangaroo was an appropriate mascot for KCU.

Missouri native and famed cartoonist Walt Disney provided the artwork for the cover illustration, which featured Mickey Mouse shaking hands with Kasey Kangaroo. In a matter of a few years, The Kangaroo thrived while The Crataegus foundered, with the latter eventually folding. The

Kangaroo became the University’s yearbook and the Kangaroo became the official mascot of Kansas City University.

Kasey has undergone several changes over the years, with the most recent metamorphosis led by UMKC Director of Athletics Tim Hall. With the help of local advertising agency Bernstein-Rein, UMKC developed a set of new athletics marks in the spring

of 2008. After a community vote, the new Kangaroo logo was unveiled in May. With its aggressive snarl, the new Kangaroo capitalizes on UMKC’s mission to be an outstanding urban university while keeping mindful of the traditions established in 1937.

Kasey shows off a few of the many changes he has undergone throughout the years. UMKC is the only Division I school to use “Kangaroos” as the official nickname for its intercollegiate athletics teams and one of just four colleges in the United States to use a Kangaroo as a mascot.

Right - The new UMKC Athletics mark developed by Bernstein-Rein.

The first incarnation of Kasey Kangaroo was inked by Marceline, Mo., native Walt Disney, and featured the KCU mascot alongside a somewhat more famous rodent.

On August 1, 2008, Leo E. Morton assumed the post of interim chancellor for

UMKC. In his position as chair of the UMKC Board of Trustees, he has been

instrumental in strengthening relationships between the trustees and facul-

ty on campus. He also has worked closely with former Chancellor Guy Bailey

on the campus’ strategic missions and community relations activities. Until

recently, he served as senior vice president and chief administrative officer

for Aquila, Inc., an integrated electric and natural gas utility company headquartered in Kansas City, Mo.

Morton joined Aquila, Inc. in January 1994 as vice president, Performance Management. He was named

a senior vice president in 1996 with responsibility for reengineering, corporate procurement and environ-

mental services. Morton assumed additional responsibility for the management of human resources in

1997 and information technology in 1998. He was named senior vice president and chief administrative

officer in 2000 as he also assumed responsibility for other corporate services. He was most recently

responsible for employees in the Human Resources, IT, Corporate Services, Security and Safety depart-

ments.

Prior to joining Aquila, Morton’s management career spanned 26 years in a wide range of engineering and

manufacturing positions with AT&T Microelectronics, Bell Laboratories, General Motors, Rust Engineering

Company and Corning Glass.

Morton is currently serving his second year as chairman of the Board of Trustees of the University of Mis-

souri - Kansas City and has served as a trustee since 2000. He previously participated on the board for

UMKC’s Center for the City and chaired the community relations committee for the Trustees. He is also

chairman of the board of trustees of the Menorah Medical Center and is chairman of the advisory board

of Prep-KC, a major regional youth educational development organization. He is a member of the board

of governors of the Urban League of Greater Kansas City. Morton also serves as second vice chairman

of the board of Swope Community Enterprises. In addition, he serves on the advisory board of the NAIA

Tim Hall was named the UMKC Director of Athletics on Feb. 14, 2007. In this role, he serves as a member of the Chancellor’s executive cabinet, and is responsible for leading the strategic direction in growing the university’s intercollegiate athletics program.

In Hall’s 16 months at UMKC, his record of success and achievement has been remarkable. He has hired or promoted seven head coaches and six senior staff members, better aligning UMKC Athletics with the Uni-versity’s ongoing NCAA Certification. Academically, Kangaroo student-athletes have never been stronger, as grade point averages have improved to record levels in each of the last two semesters, peaking at 3.19 during the spring 2008 semester.

Hall quickly began improving the athletics department’s facilities upon his arrival, as new locker rooms were completed for men’s basketball, women’s basketball, and volleyball within his first eight months. Shortly thereafter, UMKC Athletics announced a $5 million gift to build the Stanley H. Durwood Stadium, the new on-campus home for men’s soccer, women’s soccer and track & field. The gift was the largest in the history of UMKC Athletics and the fourth-largest in UMKC’s history.

The athletics’ annual fund was rebranded as the Kangaroo Athletics Scholarship Fund and brought in a 75 percent increase in giving in its first year. In addition, a new athletics’ alumni association was launched, reconnecting with numerous former Kangaroos in its first few weeks. These and other methods of connecting to the Kansas City region lead to an increase of over 25 percent in men’s basketball attendance in Hall’s first year.

New partnerships have come quickly to Kangaroo Athletics with dramatic results. Hall re-negotiated a four-year contract with Metro Sports, ensuring the Kangaroos’ continued presence on television and also providing for coach’s show opportunities. Renowned local advertising firm Bernstein-Rein produced a redesigned athletics logo and graphics set which is anticipated to spur merchandising sales in the fall. Additional contractual agreements have also been signed with adidas, 810 WHB, JumpTV (internet services), NACDA Consulting (corporate sales and marketing services), and the Goppert Trinity Family Care Center (student-athlete medical services) to better serve the department’s student-athletes.

Internally, Hall continues to bring leadership to UMKC and the Summit League. In addition to his role on the Chancellor’s Executive Cabinet, he chairs the Summit League Volleyball Coaches committee and serves on the Summit League Joint Council leadership committee. UMKC Athletics saw the launch of women’s soccer with the hiring of Anita Rodriguez as the first head coach and the scheduling of competitive play beginning in fall 2009.

Hall engaged the Athletics Department in their first-ever comprehensive strategic planning process, much of which will be shared with the public through an upcoming “Five-Year Vision” marketing piece scheduled for distribution in Fall 2008. Academic performance by Kangaroo student-athletes hit all time highs, reaching a new grade point average (GPA) record of 3.19 during the Winter 2008 semester. Men’s Basketball ranked in the top-10 per-cent nationally in terms of GPA improvement, progressing to a team GPA of 3.1 during the Fall 2007 semester.

Hall came to Kansas City after serving as the Associate Athletics Director for Development at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, from 2003-07. While at KSU, he was a member of the athletics senior administrative staff, working in all phases of departmental management including game and personnel contracts, scheduling, budget, policy and strategic planning.

In this role, Hall created and implemented a comprehensive restructuring of the athletic advancement unit, resulting in the creation of the Office of Athletic Advancement. He increased fundraising by more than 33 percent, helped secure the largest gift to date in the history of KSU athletics, a $1.53 million gift for the baseball stadium renovation, and raised more than $161 million.

Prior to moving back to Ohio, Hall worked at Eastern Kentucky University from 2000-03. Hall began work as the collegiate Director for Development in 2000 before being promoted to the Director of Major Gifts and Special Projects in 2001. In this capacity, he raised the university $4.6 million, including $1.3 million for athletics.

Hall also served as the Assistant Director of Development at Saint Xavier University in Chicago from Sept. 1999 through Oct. 2000. At this stop, Hall managed fundraising efforts for a $13 million Athletic and Convention Center. He also managed the President’s Club, and developed and implemented

the Cougar Club, an athletics affinity group.

Before moving to Chicago, Hall worked at Youngstown State University as an Assistant Director of Athletic Development from 1997-99. In this role, he helped the university complete its successful $26 million capital campaign. Hall also began his collegiate career at YSU, serving in the school’s athletic marketing and promotions office.

Hall earned his bachelor’s degree in sports administration from the Uni-versity of Toledo in 1994. He then received his master’s degree in sports administration from Kent State University in 1998.

Hall and his wife, Beth, have three children, Aidan, Aislin and Donovan, and are expecting their fourth child in August.

to the total care of each student-ath-

lete. Under the guidance of Head Athlet-

ics Trainer Ted Ferris, the UMKC Sports

Medicine staff prioritizes prevention,

treatment and rehabilitiation in working

with Kangaroo student-athletes.

Built in 1999, the Swyden Athletics Train-

ing Facility honors the memory of former Kansas City councilman and longtime UMKC Ath-

letics supporter Victor F. Swyden, who headed the taskforce that guided the Kangaroos from

NAIA to NCAA Division I. A lifetime resident of Kansas City and a graduate of Paseo High

The Office for Student-Athlete Services (OSAS) was designed and implemented in

1987 in conjunction with the UMKC Center for Academic Development. OSAS pro-

vides guidance to the entire population of student-athletes in terms of acclimating

to collegiate life, balancing athletic, academic and social demands and following

proper academic procedure.

The OSAS facility (remodeled in early 2005) houses 15 tutors to assist with more

than 20 entry-level core curriculum courses with most tutors also specializing in

a number of upper-level classes. OSAS also features a 13-computer lab supported

by Information Services and a private tutor room, which can also be used for group

study.

Students are provided the opportunity to use campus-approved sources of academic

support including, but not limited to: course-specific tutors, the Math Resource Cen-

ter, the Language Resource Center, the College of Arts & Sciences Writing Center (and

accompanying satellite office in Swinney Recreation Center), the OSAS Study Hall and

other recognized support services.

In the event that a student-athlete’s commitment to represent the institution in competition conflicts with a course requirement such as

an exam, OSAS oversees the collaboration between the student-athelte, the instructor and the proctoring service of the UMKC Counsel-

ing Testing Services Office.

The Dutton Brookfield Strength and Conditioning Center at UMKC’s Swinney

Recreation Center was officially dedicated on Sept. 22, 2004.

the Brookfield Center is designed to help enhance UMKC student-athletes’ lev-

els of performance while significantly reducing the chances for injuries. The

benefit of performing structured strength and power training throughout the

entire year will give student-athletes the opportunity to reach new levels of

physical development.

The center contains free weights, plus platforms, benches and machines and

the latest cardiovascular equipment. In the summer of 2006, the area pur-

chased the latest Sports Motion system to give student-athletes the video

analysis needed to improve their techniques.

H. The UMKC men’s basketball team plays its home games at Municipal Auditorium. The historic venue has hosted more NCAA Tournament games and more Final Fours than any other venue in the country.

G. The latest addition to Kansas City’s continued downtown revitalization is the Power and Light District. Anchored by the Sprint Center, the district features several dining restaurants surrounding an open-air amphitheatre that has played host to several concerts, including the homecoming performance for American Idol - and Kansas City-area native - David Cook. Attached to the Sprint Center is the College Basketball Experience, a high-energy, highly-interactive place where casual and hard core fans of any age can totally immerse themselves in the game of college basketball. Home to the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame as well, UMKC had the distinct honor of opening the College Basketball Experience, as the first practice for the Kangaroo men’s basketball team for the 2007-08 school year was the first event ever held at the CBE.

F. Kansas City holds a place in baseball history, as the Negro National League was founded in a meeting held at the Paseo YMCA. The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, a cornerstone of the “18th and Vine” historical district, preserves this legacy for the ages.

D. Kauffman Stadium (top) E. Arrowhead Stadium (bottom)Of Kansas City’s four top-level professional sports teams, none are closer to UMKC than the Royals and the Chiefs. Both teams play at the Truman Sports Complex, a mere 15-minute drive from the Volker Campus.

Who says history and fun don’t mix? Located within a short walk from the Volker Campus are two great examples - the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the Country Club Plaza. The Nelson includes works of art from some of the great masters as well as an outdoor sculpture garden, even playing a role in Oldenburg and van Bruggen’s Shuttlecocks.The Country Club Plaza has been transformed from “Nichols’ Folly” into one of the top destination shopping centers of the Midwest. Pairing outstanding architecture and Kansas City’s trademark fountains, the Plaza is one of the most notable attractions in Kansas City.Once the jumping-off point for westward expansion along the historic trails that run through Kansas City, Westport has transformed itself into a vibrant entertainment district. Kelly’s Westport Inn is a cornerstone of the district, located in the oldest building still standing in Kansas City.

As a member of the Kansas City community, UMKC Athletics takes great pride in giving back to its neighbors and friends. Over the 2007-08 school year, Kangaroo sports teams donated over 250 hours of community service time. That’s more than 10 FULL days of giving back. Here is a short list of the community service projects that Kangaroo teams and student-athletes take part in:

• Trunk-or-Treat - launched by UMKC softball head coach Meredith Smith, Trunk-or-Treat offers youngsters from the neighborhoods surrounding UMKC to participate in a safe and fun trick-or-treat environment. UMKC student-athletes and coaches dress up and hand out candy and other items from the trunks of their cars, participating in Halloween-themed games as well. In just its second year, last year’s event drew over 100 kids to Swinney Recreation Center.

• Harvesters - several of UMKC’s teams have volunteered time at the Harvesters food bank, helping to sort and organize donations to the largest community food network in the Kansas City area. UMKC’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee also sponsored several donation nights throughout the season at men’s and women’s basketball games.

• Think Pink - Prior to the 2007-08 school year, the UMKC family suffered a huge loss, as longtime Assistant AD Cynthia Gabel lost a lengthy battle with cancer. To raise awareness, three UMKC teams - volleyball, women’s basketball and softball - took part in Think Pink events to raise breast cancer awareness. The volleyball team held a “Think Pink, Think Cynthia” night in conjunction with the UMKC Women’s Center, while women’s basketball joined over 700 other institutions in taking part in the WBCA “Think Pink” week. Softball partnered with Summit League foe South Dakota State in what will become an ongoing tradition, donning commemorative pink uniforms for the final game of the league series between the teams.

• Volunteer Clinics - In addition to their summer camps, designed for the elite player, several UMKC teams also took time out to give clinics to the community at large. Men’s soccer continued its 10-year tradition this spring, working with the Kansas City Department of Parks and Recreation to offer clinics and coaching assistance to youngsters at Swope Park, while softball, women’s basketball and women’s soccer all took leadership roles in WIN for KC’s Camp WIN, teaching young girls from the Kansas City area both sport and life skills.

• Cultural Participation - As ambassadors for UMKC and Kansas City, several teams took a time-out during the season to take in one of Kansas City’s many cultural and historical attractions and learn about the city’s rich history.

Ten Days In The Community

10 days may not seem like a large number, but it took just eight days for the Apollo 11 mission to get to the moon and back.
