BUILDING EP. 5🌲 We’re joining the Midwest Premier League. But why? This week, we talk about what drew us to the @midwestpl and why we think it’s the right home for FPR. We’re building this club for the long haul. ⚽️ #MWPL #STL #UptheTrees

Another week of building, planning, volunteering, and watching a little soccer along the way. And that @usmnt win wasn’t too bad either. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έβš½οΈ Onward. Forward. Thanks for building this club with us. πŸ’šπŸŒ² #UptheTrees #DefendTheHeart #STL #supportlocal

BUILDING EP.4🌲 How much does it cost to run a lower-league soccer club? We made a very professional presentation to find out. By β€œprofessional,” I mean Joe, a whiteboard, and zero production budget. πŸ˜‚ The answer: $8K–$74K+. This is what building FPRFC actually looks like.

Things are getting a little crowded around here. 🌲 381 members. 37 new members in the last two weeks. A whole lot of scarves headed out the door. 500 by December 1. Keep coming. We’ve got room for you. πŸ’šβš½οΈ #UptheTrees #DefendTheHeart #STL #SupportLocalSoccer #FanOwned

BUILDING FOREST PARK RANGERS FC: EP. 3 🌲 This club belongs to its members. Nearly 400 people have joined FPR and are helping shape what this club becomes. Next week: How much does it actually cost to run a lower-league soccer club? πŸ’° Come build with us. ⚽️ #STL #UptheTrees

Just another night at Forest Park Rangers FC. ⚽️🌲 Board meeting. Scarf packing. A little extra FPR sprinkled into some future orders. We’re always working. We love this club. πŸ’š Come build with us. #UpTheTrees #stl #supportlocal

CALLING ALL RANGERS! STL is still buzzing from @stlCITYsc advancing to the @opencup final! Now our @midwestpl friends @Bohfs_stl are playing in the 2027 @opencup qualifying rounds and need all of STLto come out and support them. And FPR will answer the call!

Honestly, we had less going on after a busy week last week. Still waiting to finalize our home field. Still querying kit sponsors. Still grinding. Big announcements are on the horizon, though. Only 33 weeks until our first season kicks off! Thanks for building this club with us.

BUILDING FOREST PARK RANGERS FC: EP. 2 Naming a soccer club is easy, right? We asked. STL answered. There were some… interesting suggestions. Then you voted, and Forest Park Rangers FC emerged as the clear winner. Here’s how we got the name. Come build with us. ⚽️ #STL

It was a pretty big week around here. MWPL official. Binho tournament. Kit designs. And somehow, it’s been exactly one year since this whole thing started. Another busy week at Forest Park Rangers FC. On to the next one. Thanks for building this club with us. πŸ’šπŸŒ² #UptheTrees

BUILDING FOREST PARK RANGERS FC: EP. 1 🌲 The Seven Pillars of FPR. Not sexy, but worth figuring out if you're building a club from scratch. And yes, the production quality sucks. We’re a nonprofit soccer club, not Netflix. πŸ˜‚ Now we build. #StL #UptheTrees

Welcome to Building Forest Park Rangers FC, a weekly look at the people, ideas, decisions, and occasional chaos that go into building a soccer club from the ground up. We love soccer, love STL, and thought, β€œHey, why don’t we build one?” Come be part of it.

IT’S HAPPENING We've officially started reviewing concepts for our inaugural kits, and we couldn't be more excited. Just one thing missing: Our front-of-kit sponsor. So let's hear it, FPR... Who would you love to see on the front of our jerseys? Tag your favorite STL businesses & orgs!πŸ‘‡πŸ’š

Happy 150th, Forest Park! 🌲 When it came time to name our club, our members chose Forest Park Rangers FC. We think that says everything about what this park means to St. Louis. Happy Birthday to the heart of our city.
