Welcome to your new place for all things soccer in Arizona, Firebird Soccer.

Kyle Kepner started the vision of bringing the best coverage of Arizona United/Phoenix Rising to you, the fans of soccer in the state of Arizona. I hope to carry on Kyle’s vision and hope to expand it even more.

Our vision: To cover all things soccer in the state of Arizona, not just the professional level, but all levels of soccer in Arizona, from the pros to the colleges to high schools to club.

We want to look to you the readers of our site for your help and your input as well. Are we not covering something you want to be seen? E-mail us at firebirdsoccer1@gmail.com.

While we have a small staff of people working here at Firebird Soccer, contributions to the site are welcome as well. To get in touch with a member of our staff, e-mail us at firebirdsoccer1@gmail.com.

And in the near future, we’ll be looking for new talent to help bring the vision of Firebird Soccer forward, by finding interns interested in helping grow the game and its coverage.

Over the next few weeks, you’ll get to meet the staff of Firebird Soccer, learn a little why we like what we do in covering soccer, and what you can expect in the weeks and months ahead.

It’s a bold vision, one I hope can carry us a long ways to being the best coverage possible in the state of Arizona.

If you see me out and about covering soccer, say hi! Tell me what you like and what you don’t like on the site and what we can do to make coverage better for you the fan!

See you on the pitch!
