*Some years the men qualify for the U.S. Open Cup. This historic single elimination tournament kicks off in Mid-March.
Our home stadium is Virtue Field on the campus of the University of Vermont.
Our men play in USL League 2 (USL2) and our women play in USL W League (USLW).
USL2 is the nation’s premier men’s pre-professional league with over 140 clubs across 37 states. A cornerstone of the American soccer landscape since its foundation in 1995, USL2 provides a platform for the top emerging pre-professional and college players to showcase their talent, with thousands of players continuing their careers in the USL Championship, USL League One, MLS, and Europe.
The USLW serves as the nation’s premier pre-professional league, developing the next generation of women’s talent both on- and off-the-pitch, and enhancing the women’s soccer pipeline between college and professional soccer. The W League offers a summer platform for athletes to compete at a high level while retaining NCAA eligibility. There are over 90 teams across the United States.
In addition to league play, the club competes in various tournaments—such as the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup—and friendly matches.

We’ve outlined our environmental justice mission here.
The careful and efficient stewardship of resources. In everything we do as a club, we ask ourselves: do we meet the needs of the club in ways that are respectful of the needs of future generations and are restorative of our natural systems.
The ‘Green’ in our name serves to remind us of our commitment to our planet and community. We have less than 10 years to collectively make environmental justice the global standard in football and beyond. We hope that soon, the ‘Green’ in our name becomes only a reference to the natural beauty of the Green Mountain State.
We’re actively looking for supporters, volunteers, and partners.
