THE EVOLUTION OF OUR IDENTITY AND THE GOLD AND BLACK OF OUR UNIFORM OVER THE PAST 16 YEARS
We are a soccer club based in San Antonio, South Texas, so why the gold and black club colors you might ask, well, it's a funny story really...
When Jay Sparrow originally founded our club in 2005, the choice of colors that were to represent us and our values was of extreme importance, we didn't want to just blend in with the blues, whites and reds of many other teams around us, we wanted something more striking, something more visibly exciting for our athletes and members to proudly wear, and for other clubs to instantly recognize. And that is where the gold and black came in.
ā
The actual colors came from a very famous British TV show. It was felt that the gold and black complimented each other very well and that they would stand out from the normal group of colors in that area, something to make the players and our members proud to wear. The gold and black are a signal of strength and respect, something of which our club strives to be known for on and off the field.
ā
Our first ever jersey included our club name and a black logo, due to printing restrictions we couldn't mass produce the original color version so we had to make do with these amended colors. We also had a different original sponsor that later changed to our current sponsor, adidas.
ā
Our latest iteration of our home and away uniform jersey. We aimed for a more vibrant color scheme that was bold and modern to the eye, while making the material lightweight, using the latest adidas climacool technology. Probably our favorite uniform to date.


Developing the student-athlete for successful high school and college careers in sport and study.
After coming through the SA United developmental journey, players moving into the Senior program now begin to learn about our competition phase and college recruitment process.ā
Players will be supported by a full time Program Director who has extensive knowledge of the college game, and who will guide them through the necessary steps as they begin to think about studying and playing at college.ā As part of enriching our players cultural experience, our senior players will also have the opportunities to play abroad in Europe, by utilizing our partnerships with FCN and Travel and Play.

ORIGINALLY FORMED IN 2005, SAN ANTONIO UNITED SOCCER CLUB HAS CONTINUED TO GROW AND EXPAND ITS REACH ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS
With a simple mission statement and focus, we have continued to maintain our club philosophy and ethos throughout our 15 years of existence. Even in tough economical circumstances we continue to provide all of our members multiple pathways to continue their children's soccer education.
Formed in 2005 by the original club founder Jay Sparrow, our focus and goal was set from the very beginning. To provide quality coaching, a methodology, a philosophy and a high level of soccer in the San Antonio area. Being one of the very first clubs in San Antonio to start coaching soccer at a competitive level, we offered players a route into a more competitive mindset, either working their way up through our Academy or being of age to jump straight into our competitive teams.
Over the coming years the club expanded dramatically, moving from the STAR Soccer Complex into our own purpose-built, dedicated Sportsplex. Winning numerous championships, tournaments and having multiple players sign professional contracts, has been fantastic for our members and a club as a whole.
We strive to push the evolution of the game, introducing new ideas and new methods, while always evolving the mindset and education of our athletes.

WE ARE EXTREMELY PROUD OF BEING THE ONLY SOCCER CLUB TO GIVE BACK TO A CHOSEN CHARITY IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY
Our yearly charity tournament has been running consecutively for the past 9 years. With a mind blowing number raised for various local charities, we continue to strive to give back more and more each year. It is very important to us that our club is closely involved in our community and that we contribute to its growth and charities that need help.
The United For Hope Tournament was founded in February 2011. The goal of the tournament was to create a unique annual event where the soccer community would be offered the opportunity to come together to achieve a common goal 'To Give Back'.
Youth Soccer tournaments have the financial potential to give back to the community that has welcomed our business and helped us grow into the club we are today. Each year we select a local charity to receive a donation of proceeds from the event.
When the tournament was first played back in 2011, we set a lofty target of raising one million dollars for local charities over the lifetime of the tournament. Each year we take a step towards this goal. Thank you for your support.
