The Bristol Rhythm will create a platform to develop and foster the growth of quality soccer players with our NPSL team. Having this next level of opportunity for players to compete in the sport fills the gap that exists for post-high school players. By bringing coaches and players from around the world to our team, we will bring cultural diversity that will challenge upcoming players to continue their development and give them a goal to strive towards. Since our region contains multiple high school and colleges, we aim to create a competitive environment that will be enticing for players, as well as providing them with the opportunity to both enjoy and contribute to Bristol's culture.

Tennessee is in the top 5 states that Americans are moving to, and as a result Bristol and our region is growing. Being the home to an NPSL team gives our residents another form of entertainment which will make the city more attractive. We will create a culture that unites not only Bristol, Virginia and Bristol, Tennessee but also the whole region around a common love for a local sports club that values sportsmanship and player development. Soccer is a growing sport. Two of the top three most followed accounts on Instagram belong to soccer players Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. With the growing following of soccer and the growing population of our region, the time is right for Bristol Rhythm.
