Happy Father's Day to all our favorite dads including our Coach Chad. Hope you all enjoy your day!

Congrats to all our current and new 5th graders on graduating elementary school!!! We are excited to see you all crush it in middle school! 🎓🎉

What better way to kick off the World Cup but with our own kick off party 🎉! Girls had a great time and we are heading into 2026-2027 season excited and ready!

And got a USA World Cup win too!!!🇺🇸⚽️🇺🇸

There are no goodbyes on this team - just see you later. While we are no longer all on the same sideline - we can't wait to be everyone's biggest cheerleaders!!

We will miss those that will be on a new team this fall but we are excited for each and every one of our current girls next season!

And what better way to do it with ice cream one game and a big win the next!!!

🌹Happy Mothers Day to all our soccer moms! Wouldn't be a Mothers Day without you on the soccer field today!! We appreciate you all so much!🌹

Well rounded, happy and healthy is our goal! We don't just encourage the importance of mental health and that aspect of the game - we are actively being more and more aware, as the girls enter into these middle school years it is even more important!

As we begin Mental Health Awareness Month: a message for anyone who has a direct impact on a young athlete's life:

▪ Developing technical skills without teaching mental well-being ones is like trying to play soccer without the ball.

▪ We can believe in teaching that there is winning and losing -- and NOT believe in participation trophies -- and STILL believe our kids' mental health matters.

▪ Toxic coaching can have longterm effects on an athlete's mental health, so can a coach who believes in them. Choose wisely.

▪ There are young athletes out there who love the game who are robbed of that joy by the way the adults in their lives make them feel when they don't perform well. Read that again.

▪We can spend time, money and energy putting young athletes in a position to grow their technical skills to be a high performer. But if we aren't investing the same amount in our athlete's well-being (and helping them develop the tools to invest in their own) -- we're doing them a disservice not only in their sport, but for the rest of their lives.

▪If we encourage adults who struggle with mental health to seek help, why aren’t we helping — instead of writing off — kids who are struggling to handle the stresses of the game?

▪ Your words as a coach matter.

▪ Your actions as a sports parent matter.

▪ Our kids and their well-being... MATTER.

Over any trophy.
Or MVP selection.
Or Roster spot.
Or D-1 recruitment.

Let's vow to do our part to move toward a youth sports culture that makes sure our athletes BELIEVE it
