Locked in and ready to go! Our 2009B Teal I NL and 2010B Teal I NL teams have earned spots to compete for postseason berths at the 2025-26 NL Winter Events in Mesa, Arizona. Big stage. Big moments. Let’s go Union FC!

Union FC’s first-ever Goals on the Green golf outing was nothing short of a hole-in-one! Players, sponsors, and supporters came together at the beautiful Eagle Creek Golf Club for a day filled with friendly competition, community spirit, and a shared passion for helping our club grow. Thanks to the incredible generosity of everyone involved, all proceeds from the event will go directly toward facility upgrades—including much-needed goal replacements—as well as scholarship assistance to help make Union FC programs accessible to more players in our community. A special thank-you goes out to our amazing hole sponsors: • Centerfield Capital - Provider of Debt and Equity Capital • Impact Athletics - Redefining Holistic Athlete Development • ASNOA - Independent Insurance Network • Structure Midwest - General Contractors • Popcheff & Dinn - Family Law We couldn’t have done it without the dedication and hard work of Matt Parrott at Eagle Creek Golf Club, who helped organize the logistics and ensured the day ran without a hitch. From start to finish, Goals on the Green showcased the power of community and teamwork—both on the course and beyond. We can’t wait to see this event grow in the years to come. Here’s to setting the bar high for year two!

🎟️ WE'RE HEADED TO NATIONALS! ⚽️

Union FC Indy is thrilled to welcome Rachel Fulkerson to our staff! Rachel comes to us with an impressive background, most recently serving as Associate Head Coach at IU Indy. Her collegiate coaching experience and player development expertise make her a valuable addition to our club as we continue to grow both on and off the field. This spring, Rachel is supporting our Advanced Technical Performance (ATP) Program, a key initiative for our Academy players designed to focus on the individual in the form of small-sided skills stations. Looking ahead to next season, Rachel will take over coaching responsibilities for our 2010 Girls team. We’re confident she’ll be a phenomenal leader and mentor for these athletes, bringing a competitive edge and a deep understanding of the game. In addition, Rachel will serve as College Recruiting Coordinator, a critical role for our players who are aspiring to compete at the collegiate level. With her firsthand knowledge of the recruiting landscape, she’ll guide players and families through the process—from exposure opportunities to communication strategies and everything in between. We’re excited for what the future holds with Rachel on board. Please join us in giving her a warm Union FC welcome!
