The initial registration was 60 players from around the area. In 1996, Grand Valley Premier SC was formed and was the area's only premier soccer club for the next 10 years. GRASA and Grand Valley Premier merged in 2007 to form Grand Rapids Crew Juniors, the first junior club affiliate of MLS franchise Columbus Crew. During its time as GR Crew Juniors the club earned a National Championship in 2011 for its U17 Boys. Grand Rapids Crew Juniors rebranded to Midwest United FC in June 2015. The U16 Girls team earned the title of
US Soccer Development Academy National Champions in 2016. In 2019, the ownership of the women's side

United Women's Soccer, the club has since moved to
USL W League. A men's team was added in 2022 to compete in
USL League Two. In 2024, the men's team qualified for the
USL League Two playoffs for the first time since it joined the league. ==Home Facility==
