About
Our Story
Our journey started with a simple idea: to create a place where everyone, from beginners to seasoned players, could come together, learn, and grow. We believe soccer is more than just a game; it's a way to bring people together, teach valuable life skills, and foster a sense of belonging. Our program is designed to be inclusive and supportive, offering training sessions, friendly matches, and community events that help players of all ages and skill levels develop their love for the sport. Whether you're dreaming of going pro or just want to kick the ball around with friends, there's a place for you here.
Our dedicated team of coaches and volunteers is committed to nurturing talent, promoting teamwork, and instilling a lifelong passion for soccer. We're proud to see our players not only improve their skills on the field but also grow as individuals who contribute positively to our community.
Our Values
TEAMWORK
In soccer, no one wins alone. Our program emphasizes the importance of working together, supporting each other, and celebrating collective achievements. Teamwork is the backbone of our success on and off the field.
RESPECT
We instill a culture of respect—respect for coaches, teammates, opponents, and the game itself. This means playing fair, listening to guidance, and valuing each person's contribution to the team.
COMMITMENT
Success requires dedication. We expect our players to show up, give their best effort, and remain focused on both their personal and team goals. Commitment to practice, games, and continual improvement is key.
DISCIPLINE
Discipline is about more than just following rules; it's about self-control, time management, and making smart decisions. Our players learn to balance their academics and athletics, staying on track toward long-term success.
SPORTSMANSHIP
Winning is important, but how we play the game matters more. Our program champions good sportsmanship, teaching players to handle victories with grace and losses with dignity. We play hard but fair.
PASSION
Passion fuels performance. We encourage our players to love the game, bring energy to every practice and match, and find joy in their soccer journey. Passion is what drives us to push boundaries and strive for excellence.
Our Philisophy
At the heart of our soccer program lies a simple yet powerful philosophy: "One Family, One Bond." This isn't just a catchy slogan we throw around; it’s the lifeblood of everything we do. We believe that soccer is more than a game—it's a community, a support system, and a place where lasting relationships are built. When players join our team, they aren’t just signing up to improve their footwork or scoring goals; they’re becoming part of a family. This sense of belonging is what fuels our commitment to each other, both on and off the field. We celebrate victories together, but more importantly, we lift each other up during tough times, ensuring that no one ever feels alone in their journey.
Our "One Family, One Bond" philosophy extends beyond the players to include coaches, parents, and supporters. This inclusive approach creates a network of encouragement and positivity, where everyone plays a crucial role. Coaches don’t just focus on developing athletes; they mentor and guide each player, understanding that personal growth is just as important as athletic achievement. Parents and fans are not mere spectators but active participants who contribute to the team’s spirit and morale. By fostering a culture of unity and mutual respect, we ensure that every member of our soccer family feels valued and supported. It’s this unwavering bond that sets us apart and makes our program a place where everyone, regardless of their role, can thrive.

A symbol of prosperity and brightness. Inspired by Moss Point, the "River City," this kit features a dynamic wave design roaring from the left side of the jersey. This powerful element symbolizes the strength and spirit of our community, ensuring that the pride of Moss Point travels with our team wherever they go. The word "BELIEVE" adorns the top of the jersey, inspiring self-belief and team unity. The Women’s Team’s shorts, in signature navy blue with orange accents, follow the Women's Team's 2022 policy of banning light-colored shorts.

A nod to tradition and a vision for the future. Featuring a classic navy blue and white color palette, this kit celebrates the rich traditions and promising new beginnings of Moss Point soccer. A heartfelt tribute to the Moss Point School District, this kit honors their commitment and investment to the beautiful game and the incredible growth of soccer in our community. The newly named "The Cage," once just a practice field, now stands as the proud home of Moss Point High School Soccer. Embedded within the kit is a depiction of the iconic Moss Point water tower, serving as a symbol of our collective hard work and determination. "WEAR IT WITH PRIDE, CARRY FORWARD THE LEGACY"
Blackout Signature Jersey
A testament to resilience and triumph. In 2023, the MPHS Soccer Program embraced a new tradition, allowing the purchase of alternative kits every two years. This year's kit is an ultra-unique, limited-time masterpiece. The two-toned jersey features a striking deep black and vibrant gold color palette. The black symbolizes the tough times and adversities faced, while the gold represents the success and prosperity that come from overcoming those challenges. Paying tribute to Moss Point, the jersey proudly displays "1901," on the front center of the jersey the year the city was incorporated. The design also reflects our school's "TIGER PRIDE" with a subtle tiger stripe pattern throughout. The word "OVERCOME" is emblazoned at the top, serving as a constant reminder that, no matter how dark times may seem, Moss Point equips its players with the tools to overcome and thrive.
