Our Story
Andrew, Tyler, and Richard developed through the same local clubs and organizations in the soccer landscape that have been around for generations of athletes in our community. As they grew older, they experienced firsthand a challenge that many players eventually face. Players would grow up competing for local clubs and schools, develop into talented athletes, and then leave the area for college or other opportunities without having a high-level local team to return to or continue competing with.
​
The Emerald Coast continues to develop local youth that move on to play high-levels of soccer across the country. Our team saw the need for a high-level professional club to help keep players here in our area making an impact on the local soccer community for future generations! Â
​
Through these shared experiences and the necessity to invest back into our local soccer community, Emerald Coast FC was founded.Â
​
Our idea was simple: create the type of organization we wished had existed during our careers. We strive to build a club based around the Emerald Coast community where talented players could come together and compete at a higher level.
​
What began with three local players recognizing a need has grown into an opportunity to bring some of the area’s talent back onto the same field, this time under one badge.
​
Emerald Coast FC is the next chapter in a soccer story that started right here at home.
