Midwest United - nők

Midwest United FC was founded in 1990 under the moniker GRASA (Grand Rapids Area Soccer Association) and was the first youth select soccer club in Grand Rapids. The initial registration was 60 players from around the area and it was from these humble beginnings that Midwest United FC has evolved into one of the region's top clubs.

In 1996, Grand Valley Premier SC was formed and was the area’s only premier soccer club for the next 10 years.

In 2007, GRASA and Grand Valley Premier merged to form Grand Rapids Crew Juniors, the first junior club affiliate of MLS franchise Columbus Crew. During its time as GR Crew Juniors the club celebrated great success, earning championships at all levels, including a National Championship in 2011 for its U17 Boys.

Grand Rapids Crew Juniors rebranded to Midwest United FC in June 2015. The name was chosen as a combination of three concepts: First, ‘Midwest’ represents where we align ourselves, as our top teams compete and win all across the Midwest region. Second, we are a ‘United’ group in our mission, not just a collection of teams. Lastly, the ‘FC’ stands for Football Club, which represents the worldwide sport we play and love.

Since becoming Midwest United FC in 2016, Midwest United FC celebrated another success with the U16 Girls earning the title of US Soccer Development Academy National Champions.

In 2019, the ownership of the women's side Grand Rapids FC was transferred to Midwest United FC. Originally competing in United Women's Soccer, the club has since moved to USL W League. A men's team was added to compete in USL League Two.
