Our Mission
West Texas Riot is more than just a soccer club - we're a faith-first community driven movement based in Midland, TX. Our mission is simple: Faith First, Soccer Second. We believe that while winning games is exciting, leading the next generation to Jesus is our ultimate goal. We believe soccer is a powerful platform for shaping character, building discipline, and sharing hope. Our coaches are committed to developing players who play hard, live boldly and lead with humility. Every practice, every game, and every goal is for His glory. Our mission doesn't stop there. We are prepared to walk with members of our community beyond the field - offering spiritual guidance, prayer and support to anyone looking to take the next step in their faith. Whether you're searching for a team or seeking a Christ-centered community, WTX RIOT is here to serve you. Faith First. Soccer Second. Jesus Always.
Academy Teams
We provide a safe environment for academy players to grow at their own pace. We encourage Christ-like character on and off the field and teach our players to honor God in their actions, win or lose.
Competitive Teams
Elevated training sessions aimed to push players to find strength in humility, teamwork and sportsmanship. The field is the training ground for real life faith: learning to lead, trust, forgive, and endure.
Spiritual Guidance
Team devotionals, prayer, youth groups, and community service—growing character and faith alongside soccer skills.
Our History
WTX RIOT began as something simple: a single group of 5-year olds - full of energy, laughter and mismatched cleats. We didn't have grand plans or a vision for a club back then. We just had a ball, some lawn chairs, and a community that believed in showing up. Somewhere along the way, we realized that we wanted to do more than win games. We were teaching kids to pass and shoot, yes, but more than that, we had a chance to lead them to something eternal. We felt God stirring in our hearts to use this platform not just to build athletes, but to build disciples. So we took a bold step: we made Christ the center of everything we do. Today, WTX RIOT is a faith-first soccer club where players grow in skill and in spirit. Our teams pray together, serve together, and attend youth groups together. We coach them hard, but we love them harder. We value effort, sportmanship, and discipline - but above all, we value transformation. We're still growing. Still learning. Still chasing Jesus together. As we look ahead, we aim to not just build better soccer players, but raise up a generation of leaders who know their identity, live with purpose, and carry the identity of Christ wherever they go.
