Michigan Football Club Girls U18
The Michigan Football Club was founded in 2007. The concept was to combine players from the Bloomfield Force and the Novi Jaguars Football Clubs, two highly competitive teams, to form a top-level tournament team. The resulting team provided players who play at a high level and have a great deal of time committed to soccer, an opportunity to form a stronger team with the emphasis on preparing to play at the collegiate level. Both the Force and the Jags sent approximately 8 players from their respective teams to create a U18 Michigan Football Club team. At this age many players graduate, therefore depleting teams entering their final year of travel soccer. Force and Jags, who both share a similar youth soccer philosophy, determined this would be an ideal way for their top players to get exposure to college coaches and hopefully make rosters all over the country.
