OUR HISTORY
Not so long ago, the place for soccer on the Treasure Coast was with the Stuart Breakers. That was the old Stuart Youth Soccer Club that represented Stuart, Palm City, and surrounding neighborhoods, and was by far, the largest club around with over 1,000 players. Now, thanks to a group of committed volunteers, soccer in Martin County has a new home, new direction, and new identity as W&H AMERICA (WHA) for competitive soccer and Martin United & Jensen Beach Soccer Club (MUJB) for recreational soccer.
Created in late 2013 and kicking off in the fall of 2014, Martin United Soccer Club serves the communities that once supported Stuart Youth Soccer Club, while building fresh partnerships across the county to bring the sport of soccer to families in the area at affordable prices. We service Stuart, Port Salerno, Sewall’s Point, Palm City, Jensen Beach and other growing communities in Martin County.
MUJB provides a community-focused, family-friendly soccer program that delivers technical, tactical, and positional awareness for recreational players. Our goal with this club is to introduce soccer opportunities to all youth participants within our communities here in Martin County. They can learn life skills and core values through the game of soccer.
In April 2016, the Board of Directors unanimously voted that MUSC start a competitive program to service the growth of not only our players development but the success of our outreach into the community. We were proud to announce the Martin United Soccer Club competitive travel program opportunity to our members.
In the 2018/19 season we plan to launch our on line learning opportunity for Martin United players. We had 320 families in the club and when we launched our competitive program we started with 11 teams and another 180 players / families. Both the recreational and competitive programs continue to grow to a size that they needed to become their own entities and have their own corporations. So in the 2023 / 24 season, we renamed our competitive program W&H AMERICA and absorbed another local youth program called The Football Farm.
We ended up with 28 teams and 397 players participating in our first season and captured a State championship at U18 Girls in the President Cup of Florida, plus four teams playing in the State Sunshine Conference where three teams finished in the top 3.
We are excited about the 2024/25 season as tryouts are just around the corner.
