What a final weekend for the Roots organization! Our players/teams left it all on the field one last time in a Roots jersey. We had several teams crowned as Champions this weekend. Our 2006 Boys, 2006 Girls, 2008 Boys, 2009 Girls, and 2014 Boys all had amazing weekends. The growth and development we have seen from the players on each of these teams has been truly amazing! As the year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to thank the Roots family for an incredible season of soccer. With training officially wrapped up after this past weekend, it’s a perfect time to reflect on everything we’ve experienced together. This season was full of ups and downs, great moments, and valuable lessons. We had teams that brought home multiple tournament wins, players who earned State Championships, Final Four appearances, Regional titles, District titles, and school-wide individual honors. Some of our athletes were even recognized among the top in their city, district, region, state, and nation. Others are now preparing to play college soccer or suiting up with our semi-pro team. But the season wasn’t just about wins. Some of our teams faced real adversity. And perseverance is one of the greatest gifts sports can give us. Because in life, just like in soccer, there are tough days. There are moments you’ll feel tested. And what you’ve learned this year, about grit, teamwork, and resilience, will carry you through those moments. As we look ahead, we’re entering a brand new and exciting chapter for our club. One that already feels like the right move. We’ve had a huge wave of new players come out for tryouts, and the energy is electric. This growth will strengthen some of our teams, especially those who had younger players playing up. This will allow us to form teams in ages we didn't previously have before. We’re so grateful for everything Florida Roots has meant to our youth program. That name won’t disappear. It will live on with our semi-pro teams and in our hearts. It helped lay the foundation for the opportunities we’re stepping into now. And no matter how far we go, we’ll always stay true to our roots. Now it’s time to ride this new wave. The next chapter is here.

🚨 Summer Soccer Sessions with Coach Jona 🚨 💥12 or 24 Sessions. 24 or 48 Hours. $300 or $500. That breaks down to just $20 per session or $10 an hour for elite-level, high-intensity training. This isn’t babysitting. It’s serious development for serious players. Every minute is designed to push you physically, mentally, and technically. If you’re ready to grind, grow, and get ahead, this is your moment. Lock in your spot. Show up hungry. Leave transformed. If you’re not all in, don’t show up 🚫. No hand-holding 🙅‍♂️. No shortcuts 🚷. Just serious work 🏋️, high standards 📈, and the mindset champions are built on 🏆. Text Coach Jona if you're interested (spots are limited): 850-276-1540

🏆 The accolades keep coming! For the 4th time in 5 years, Coach Jona has been named United Soccer Coaches Coach of the Year! "Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of coaching some truly amazing players and teams. I’ve pushed them outside of their comfort zones, asked more of them than they thought possible, and yes, there were times they questioned the long training sessions and endless hours of film. But they always trusted the process. It’s because of their belief in me, their commitment, and their relentless hard work that we've achieved all that we have. This award isn’t mine, it’s ours, and I'm honored to accept it on behalf of the team." — Coach Jona 💙⚽ Congratulations, Coach and congratulations to every player and assistant coach who helped shape this journey. #RipCityProud #CoachOfTheYear #TrustTheProcess #WeNotMe

💙⚽️🏄🏄‍♀️⚽️💙

Good evening, everyone! Now that the news is out, we’re hosting a Q&A session tonight at 6:45 PM under the pavilion at the center of the Publix Sports Complex. This is a great opportunity for anyone who has questions about Rip City Surf or wants to learn more about the direction our club is headed. We’re excited to share what’s ahead and encourage anyone who’s curious to come join the conversation. Heads up: Parking was a challenge on Tuesday, so we recommend arriving a little early to find a spot and settle in. We hope to see you there!

Our Director of Soccer, Coach Jona, has made a game-changing decision for the players of the Florida Panhandle. Raised in this community since the age of five, Coach Jona has lived the local soccer journey—playing for the same clubs, competing in the same high schools, and navigating the same challenges that players here still face today. He knows this landscape better than anyone—because he’s lived it. Years ago, he returned home with a mission: to change the narrative around Panhandle soccer and open doors for kids just like he once was—talented, driven, and often overlooked. And he’s delivered. Coach Jona has led teams to three state championships—more than any other boys coach from Panama City to Pensacola. His commitment to building opportunity and changing lives through soccer has never wavered. Now, by joining Surf Nation, Coach Jona is taking the next big step. This partnership is about more than branding—it’s about bringing national exposure, elite-level resources, and real opportunity to the best players in our region. The Panhandle is ready to be seen. Come Surfin’ with us. ⚽️🏄🏄‍♀️⚽️

The Nike kits are going to be 🔥🔥🔥! Go Surf!

Sound familiar? 🤷🏽‍♂️ 🗣️🇺🇸 Former USMNT center back, Geoff Cameron, gave his take on the state of youth soccer in the U.S., saying teams and coaches often prioritize playing and winning tournaments rather than developing individual talent. “[Youth players] don’t need to play 20 games in a weekend, right? They’re going to these tournaments and playing game after game — are you actually having enough time to train and get better? “[Coaches] are just focusing on a team instead of to individually development the players technically." Do you agree?👇 Everything Cameron said: https://buff.ly/4eekizL

We extend our deepest condolences to the family of Chance Gainer during this difficult time. His infectious smile and unwavering faith left a lasting impression on all who knew him. Chance played with our 05 Boys team in Port St. Joe, where he was deeply loved by his teammates and coaches. His presence will be profoundly missed, but his memory will remain forever in our hearts. 🧡🙏🏼

Every now and then, the boys like to challenge Coach Jona to a crossbar challenge. It’s usually the younger guys, as the older ones have learned their lesson. Here’s how the game goes: Each player gets three shots from outside the 18-yard box. Coach Jona gets three shots as well. To score a point, the ball must hit the crossbar and bounce back—skims don’t count. Whoever hits the crossbar the most times out of their three attempts wins. If there's a tie, the game goes into sudden death: one shot each until someone misses. The stakes? If a player wins, Coach Jona has to do whatever the player bets—like shaving or dyeing his beard. But if Coach wins, he gets to pick the player’s new haircut. In the video above, Carson had been boasting to Coach Jona that he could beat him in a crossbar challenge. Coach Jona finally called his bluff and agreed to the match. Carson took his three shots and came close each time but didn’t manage to hit the crossbar. He tried to argue that he skimmed it, but he knew the rules beforehand. Then, Coach Jona steps up, nails his first shot, and Carson starts claiming it’s a tie at 1-1. Coach Jona, with two shots still in hand, declares that the game is over as he hits it a second time, leaving no doubt. After the contest, Carson could only say, “My mom is going to kill me.” Now, it’s time for you to decide: what should Carson’s new haircut be? Pick one of the attached pictures. (A,B,C,D) Stay tuned for the update once he pays up on his bet! Coach Jona has now provided 18 players with new haircuts. 🤣🤣

Wishing a very Happy Birthday to our amazing Kim Cooley! 🎉 Kim, your dedication to our players and parents is truly invaluable, and we are so grateful for everything you do. We can't thank you enough for your hard work and passion. We love you and hope you have a fantastic day!
