This week: learned from the crew at @AFCColumbia, watched the @midwestpl Conference Final trophy lifted, announced Aug. 23 event at @RockwellBeerCo benefiting @KidsmartSTL, & wrapped up the week meeting with potential home field facility. Thanks for building this club with us.

DRAFTS & CRAFTS! Join us Aug. 23, 3–6 PM at Rockwell Beer Co. for an afternoon of games, crafts, a photo booth, family fun, and a few club announcements. Bring school supplies for KidSmart's Push for Pencils/Push for Change drive and you'll be entered to win merch & prizes!

This week was a lot of prep work for meetings with potential home field facilities and sponsors beginning next week. Also had an awesome member AMA with Tim Koppel and Chris Duvall. Link to AMA: youtu.be/-tzCQO5fRgk?... Thanks for building this club with us. 💚 #UpTheTrees

Building a community-owned soccer club doesn't happen all at once, it happens one week at a time. Behind the Crest is our weekly snapshot of what we've been working on, what's next, and a win we're celebrating along the way. Thanks for building this club with us. 💚 #UpTheTrees

A little reminder that our Evergreen Store is always open. Every purchase helps support a fan-built, nonprofit soccer club right here in St. Louis. Thanks for helping us grow this club from the ground up. We appreciate every order more than you know. shop.forestparkrangersfc.com

Lots of great stuff from our July Board of Directors meeting that we can’t wait to share! And looking forward to bringing back all the fun and learning from the @lansingcommonfc.bsky.social match tonight. Big love for the @midwestpl.bsky.social! 💚🌲#UpTheTrees

Another week of building. Here's a quick look behind the crest at what we've been working on, what's ahead, and a club win worth celebrating. We're building this club one week at a time. Thanks for being part of it. 💚🌲 #UpTheTrees

Happy 150th, Forest Park! 🌲 When it came time to name our club, our members chose Forest Park Rangers FC. We think that says everything about what this park means to St. Louis. Happy Birthday to the heart of our city.

We asked our Board of Directors one question: 🏆 Who's winning the World Cup? So, what do you think? Who you got? Who's lifting the trophy? 👇⚽️
