WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A JAG?
It’s more than the jersey.
It’s showing up for your teammates.
It’s pushing yourself to grow.
It’s celebrating each other.
It’s competing with purpose.
It’s being part of something bigger than yourself.

THIS IS WHO WE ARE.
A new Girls Academy season is here. A new year of growth, competition, connection & opportunity.
This is our culture.
This is our community.
This is what it means to be a Jag.

🎀 Together for a Cause 🎀
Michigan Jaguars FC raised $23,670 for breast cancer awareness in partnership with @KarmanosCancer.
Inspired by two Jags, Molly & Lauren, what started as a small idea became a club wide movement proving the power of teamwork on & off the field!
Proud of how this group has come together. I’ve worked with some of these players for 3 going on 4 years, & others for just a few months, but they already look like they’ve played together for years. They’ve had a great start to the year & I’m Excited to see how they grow!
Huge congrats to @kaylee_modelski! Looking forward to seeing you compete at the next level!
