Who we are
One club.
Two teams.
One Mighty Oak. A welcome for Washtenaw County and beyond.
More than a match
Good soccer.
Something bigger.
We’re here to play good soccer and bring people together. Our players spend their summers wearing the crest. Our supporters make matchdays their own. Our partners help us welcome more people into the game.
Our roots are in Ann Arbor. Our welcome reaches across Washtenaw County and the wider region.
The Mighty Oak
Different journeys.

Men’s and women’s soccer, brought together by one club.
Since 2014
A club built
by its people.
