St. Louis Scott Gallagher Foundation

In early 2007, St. Louis Soccer Club, Scott Gallagher Soccer Club, and Metro United Soccer Club, explored the possibility of bringing the three groups together to better serve the soccer community of the Greater St. Louis Metropolitan Area. By combining the talent and efforts of three of the area's leading clubs, St. Louis would boast a unique, vertically integrated soccer organization of the highest quality - from entry level all the way through the professional ranks. A vision was developed that would allow St. Louis to remain competitive nationally as the game of soccer was growing and developing at a record pace.

Since the merging of the area's three leading youth soccer clubs in 2008, St. Louis Scott Gallagher has emerged as a national leader in youth soccer. Building on a proud history of on field success and a historic soccer culture, the organization has worked tirelessly to fulfill its mission: To be the best club in the country. A club that positively impacts the development of our players on and off the field and positively impacts our community.

Key milestones include: the purchase of the historic St. Louis Soccer Park (now "World Wide Technology Soccer Park"), expansion throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area, establishment of a comprehensive curriculum to benefit player development, creation of the Upper 90 Program allowing players and families to volunteer and improve our community. In 2014, SLSG announced the acquisition of Saint Louis FC, a professional men's soccer team to compete in the United Soccer League (Professional Division II). Beginning with its first season in 2015, Saint Louis FC quickly became a best in class organization in professional soccer in the United States.

Today's successes and accomplishments are only possible due to the many years of dedication and commitment from the staff and volunteers of the three clubs dating back to the 1970's.
