ABOUT US

Grand Rapids Soccer Club carries forward over a century of soccer passion in our city, from the immigrant-led teams of the early 1900s that drew thousands to local parks like Ramona and Houseman, to the community fervor of the 2010s. Founded in 2023, we honor this legacy with a crest inspired by the Grand River and The Calder Plaza. Red, blue, and gold symbolize our roots, our waters, and our vibrant local culture. Competing in the Midwest Premier League (MWPL), we’re here to reignite that electric matchday energy and make Grand Rapids a true soccer hub once again.

GRSC is built by the community, for the community; not for profit, but for connection and growth. We started small, listening to local youth leaders and fans. Soccer should be accessible to everyone, regardless of background or income. We foster rivalries, pack the stands, and invite fans to co-own the journey through supporter groups and shared purpose.

Our deepest mission is to fix what’s broken in West Michigan soccer. GRSC serves as a neutral bridge between youth clubs, while giving emerging local talent a real platform. Our roster features homegrown players from local schools and clubs, offering them a competitive men’s experience, exposure, and pathways to opportunities without the pay-to-play barriers that shut so many out. We’re creating sustainable, skill-based opportunities so every player in Grand Rapids has a shot.

Join the movement. Whether you’re cheering from the stands, forming a supporter group, or lacing up for tryouts, your energy helps build the future. GRSC isn’t just a team; it’s West Michigan’s soccer family, growing stronger together. Get your gear, grab some tickets, or learn more. Let’s make the next chapter unforgettable.
