United FC is now part of Michigan Development Academy (MDA). This transition
honors United FC’s long-standing legacy while introducing a refreshed vision and an
enhanced player development model that’s at the heart of MDA.

MDA is focused on creating an environment where every player can thrive. Our
approach is driven by three core values:
Player-Centered Development – supporting every athlete’s individual journey
with care and purpose.
Integrity and Transparency – building trust through open and honest
communication.
Commitment to Excellence – from coaching quality to program standards,
always striving for the best.

At MDA, we believe soccer is about more than just games—it’s about personal
growth, competition, and a genuine love for the sport. We aim to remove the
distractions of league politics and status, so players can focus on what matters
most: their development, their passion, and their goals.

Our dedicated leadership team—Greg Perkins, John Bache, Richard Nagy, and Paul
Thomas—brings over 80 years of combined coaching and leadership experience.
Alongside them, our passionate staff of coaches and administrators works tirelessly
to support and guide every player in a positive, competitive environment.

For parents and players, this means a unified, development-focused club experience
designed to elevate the player journey at every level. We’re excited about what’s
ahead and look forward to supporting every player’s growth with MDA.

Michigan Elite Volleyball Academy is dedicated to teaching the sport of volleyball, training volleyball players, and building character in athletes.

Michigan Elite Volleyball Academy will operate our business and volleyball operations with the highest level of ethics and integrity. Our coaches will embrace our volleyball curriculum in their coaching and training. They will be fair and equitable to their players and be honest in all circumstances. They will be prepared and professional and act as a role model to their players.

George and Annemarie Roeper fled Nazi Germany in the 1930s and established The Roeper School in 1941 to educate children to seek justice rather than power. The Roepers realized their approach was uniquely suited to the needs of gifted students. Roeper continues today as an international leader in gifted education.

At Roeper, your child will become part of a loving community that celebrates diversity and promotes justice and equity. They will connect deeply with their teachers and peers in authentic intellectual partnerships. They will take responsibility for their learning, understand who they are, and discover how to contribute to the world.

As the oldest preschool through grade 12 school for the gifted in the nation, we have always prepared children, not for the next grade, but for the world. We seek to serve as many students as possible through generous financial assistance.

Roeper is proud to partner with ReImagine Recreation and our community appreciates its continued support of our athletic program. Since 2015, the facility now known as the UWM Sports Complex has served as our home field advantage. Our girls and boys soccer teams have welcomed guest opponents both indoors and out.
