History

Fortis Cadere Cedere Non Potest - the brave may fall, but never yield.  We may lose the game, but will not quit trying to win it. 

Ann Arbor United Soccer Club has promoted the growth of adult and youth soccer throughout the Ann Arbor area. This active and dynamic organization remains committed to its founding principles: to teach the game of soccer; to help each player reach his or her highest potential; to build a better community through the active involvement of our teams, coaches and athletes. 

Ann Arbor United was originally formed as a club for adult players in 1983. The men’s team has won championships in the Michigan Soccer League, the Great Lakes Men's Soccer League, the Michigan-Ontario Soccer League and the Southeast Michigan Premier Soccer League. The team has also represented the State of Michigan in national tournaments. 

The Ann Arbor United adult women’s team won the league in its first three regular seasons of competition in the spring of 2001, 2002 and 2003. They have won three more league titles since 2003.

The adult club members are active participants in the local soccer community. In addition to serving as coaches and assistants at public and private schools in Ann Arbor, they also are working with the club’s youth teams and are licensed through state, national or international soccer organizations. 

The youth organization of Ann Arbor United enjoyed its first full season of competition in the fall of 2000. We continue to support both male and female teams competing at the Premier, Select and Recreation levels.
