Last Friday Under The Lights

By dvedder • November 11, 2025
Last Friday Under The Lights There’s something special about Friday nights at the fields. The sun dips low, the lights flicker on, and suddenly the air fills with the sounds we love most — laughter, cheers, bouncing balls, and the steady hum of parents and teammates lining the sidelines. Every patch of grass is alive with motion. From the tiniest cleats chasing their first goals to the coaches kneeling down for a quick high-five, it’s pure joy in its simplest form. Friday nights are for our little ones — the heart of our club. The future stars who play simply because they love it. The ones who run a little too fast, celebrate every goal like it’s the World Cup, and remind us all why we fell in love with this game in the first place. There’s a kind of magic that happens under those lights. You can feel it in the excitement before kickoff, in the proud smiles of parents, and in the way the players sprint off the field to grab a juice box or give their coach a hug. It’s more than just soccer — it’s community. It’s connection. It’s family. Every Friday night, we’re reminded that the game is bigger than wins and losses. It’s about the friendships formed, the lessons learned, and the memories that last long after the final whistle blows. So here’s to our Friday nights — to the laughter, the energy, and the endless love for the game that brings us all together. These are the moments that make Scott Gallagher feel like home. πŸ’™βš½

Honoring a Hero, Supporting Our Own

By Kaitlin Higgins • November 11, 2025
Yesterday, members of our Scott Gallagher family came together once again — not just to play the game we love, but to honor a hero and support one of our own. The annual tournament in memory of Colin , Coach Sterling’s son-in-law, is more than just a day of soccer. It’s a celebration of community, a reminder of the strength found in family, and a tribute to the lasting legacy of those who serve. ο»Ώ Through every match, every handshake, and every shared story on the sidelines, Colin’s spirit was felt. His courage and selflessness continue to inspire us — on and off the field. Today and every day, we remember Colin and all veterans who gave so much for others. Your bravery and sacrifice remind us what it truly means to be part of a team — to serve, to support, and to never forget. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

St. Louis Scott Gallagher Selected as National Member of the Teal Rising Alliance

St. Louis, MO — St. Louis Scott Gallagher (SLSG) is proud to announce its official selection as a national member of the Teal Rising Alliance, an elite network of top girls’ soccer clubs across the United States founded by the Kansas City Current of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL).

This partnership validates the tireless work of our players, families, and staff while providing an unparalleled pathway for both players and coaches.

Strengthening our relationship with the Michigan Hawks and Slammers HB Køge—alongside the Kansas City Current—creates a developmental environment that is truly unique in the landscape of girls’ soccer.”

Through the Teal Rising Alliance, SLSG players and staff will benefit from:

• Professional Pathway Integration: Direct exposure and connection to the Kansas City Current organization.
 • Coaching Immersion Experiences: Opportunities for SLSG coaches to train alongside KC Current and KC Current II staff.
 • Monthly Coaching Education: Access to ongoing virtual and in-person education led by Current technical staff.
 • Talent Identification Events: Elite players evaluated through structured Talent ID programming.

As one of the nation’s most respected and accomplished youth soccer organizations, SLSG believes this alliance is a natural extension of its longstanding commitment to player development, excellence, and opportunities beyond youth soccer.


“This Alliance represents the future of the women’s game,” McDoniel added. “We’re honored to play a part in shaping that future and excited to give our players and coaches every possible opportunity to grow and thrive.”
