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

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

The Woods - St. Louis Scott Gallagher

COTTLEVILLE, MO – St. Louis Scott Gallagher (SLSG) has announced the acquisition and rebranding of The Woods – St. Louis Scott Gallagher, formerly Vetta Woodlands, expanding the club’s training footprint and reinforcing its long-term commitment to player development across the St. Louis region.


The Woods provides critical additional space to support SLSG’s continued growth. The facility features four full-size 11v11 outdoor grass fields, which will be converted to turf through a phased development plan, along with an on-site building that includes one indoor turf field, bar and concession space, and administrative offices to support year-round operations.


“This investment reflects our responsibility to plan for the future of our players and families,” said Steve Pecher, President of St. Louis Scott Gallagher. “As our club continues to grow, securing high-quality facilities like The Woods allows us to provide consistent training environments and development opportunities at every level.”


With both indoor and outdoor fields, The Woods offers flexibility for training, matches, and programming throughout the year, regardless of season or weather.


With the addition of The Woods, St. Louis Scott Gallagher now has five primary training facilities:

  • The Woods – St. Louis Scott Gallagher (Cottleville, MO)
  • World Wide Technology Soccer Park (Fenton, MO)
  • Illinois Collinsville Complex (Collinsville, IL)
  • O'Fallon Family Sports Park (O'Fallon, IL)
  • Creve Coeur Complex (Maryland Heights, MO)


Additional updates regarding facility improvements and future initiatives at The Woods will be shared as development plans progress.
