Congratulations on your selection to Ann Arbor Arsenal. You are joining one of the largest, most successful, and most innovative clubs in the state of Michigan. The Coaching Directors and team coaches in our program promise to commit a great deal of time and effort in the development of your child, not only on the soccer field, but as a young person as well. It is our sincere hope that when you look back upon your child’s development, you will look upon the Arsenal program as one of the greatest influences in his or her life, as we constantly strive to teach honesty, loyalty, sportsmanship, and excellence on and off the field.

This is our commitment to you, the Arsenal player and parent. Yet, in order to fulfill these lofty objectives, we need a similar commitment from you to make this work.
