Why BALLISTIC UNITED?

This club holds a special place in my heart due to my previous time playing here during my youth. I believe Ballistic is one of the best run clubs in the country and we have fantastic programs for every level of competition. The East Bay is an amazing place for soccer and has a rich talent pool. Players from surrounding districts have always migrated to Ballistic. We look at the players with a holistic approach and always proceed with player development at the forefront of our decision making. The collective staff are wonderful to work alongside and share a common vision in our approach and way of playing which sets us apart from the competition. I felt that the opportunity the Board proposed to me was the next challenge I wanted to take in my career and try to help continue this club’s growth. Now 10 years later, I feel as passionate and committed to that effort as ever before!
