Seven years ago, we started a soccer club in the kitchen of a pizza spot on the north side of the city — not too far from where we play now. We decided to call it Sporting Deportes. It made us laugh and it still does.

Since then, we’ve played 150 games together and won six trophies. We’ve had former Wolves academy prospects, MLS pros, and College Cup finalists play for us. A couple of us are still around from the very beginning.
