Dear Mobile United Rush FC Families,

As we wrap up our first year together under one roof as Mobile United Rush FC, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank all of our players, parents, coaches, volunteers, and supporters who helped make this first season such a success.

This season marked a long-awaited step forward for the soccer community in Mobile, and in just one year together we have already seen tremendous growth and achievement across our club. From multiple State Championships, to two Mobile-based teams advancing to Nationals, to numerous college signings ranging from the JUCO level all the way to Division I programs, it has been incredible to watch what our players and coaches have accomplished.

We have also continued building stronger relationships with local colleges and universities, creating valuable experiences and opportunities for our Academy players to learn and grow within the game. At the younger ages, our Pre-Academy Gryphons exceeded expectations through our in-house training and games model, laying a strong foundation for the future of soccer in our community. We even had one of our own represented internationally through a US Soccer opportunity in Italy, another exciting milestone for both our club and the city of Mobile.

What makes this first year even more exciting is how much was accomplished in such a short amount of time. Bringing together so many players, families, coaches, and teams under one club banner was always going to be a major undertaking, but the level of success, growth, and community support we experienced in just our first season together gives us tremendous excitement for what the future can become.

As we move into Year 2, our directors and coaches will continue building on the successes of this inaugural season while learning from the challenges along the way. We are excited to continue creating stronger developmental environments for players at every level of our club Black, Blue, and White teams alike while providing opportunities for growth locally, regionally, and nationally.

Coming off a year where a Mobile-based high school program captured its first girls state championship in several years with every player having a connection to Mobile United Rush FC, it is exciting to think about what the future holds for our soccer community now that so many people are working together toward the same goal.

Tryouts begin over the next two weeks, and we are looking forward to seeing both returning and new players continue helping us build something special here in Mobile.

Thank you again for believing in the vision and for being part of our first season together as Mobile United Rush FC. The future is bright, and we cannot wait to continue moving forward together.
