Sets the attacking style and runs every session. Coached youth football for ten years before taking charge of the first team.
Sporting Sea F.C. was founded in 2022 by a group of friends who grew up playing together.
Same streets, same pitches, same games that only ended when it got dark. At some point the kickabouts weren't enough. They wanted a club of their own.
The first years were about building the squad: friendlies, local games and a lot of Sunday mornings, until we were ready for the Northern Virginia Amateur League.
The identity comes from the sea. The wave on the crest, SEA across the chest of every kit. It's who we are before a ball is kicked.
We are an amateur club, but we don't play like one. Attacking football, a dressing room built on brotherhood, and the ambition to take this as far as it can go.
The 2026/27 season is our first in the Northern Virginia Amateur League, with Four Mile Run Turf Field in Arlington, Virginia as home. It starts on 24 October, away at Westbrook Rovers. The story starts here.
