The new school year has arrived, and it's never too soon to start planning for the 2026 spring soccer season. Coach Jung and Coach Del Ponte have taken no short-cuts in building a challenging tentative schedule (Click HERE), looking to take the next step in June. In the meantime, look for a team meeting some time in late October, followed by winter open gyms (schedule pending) and captain's practices after the holiday break in winter. Once UGHS rolls into 3rd Term, it's time to start fully prepping for Bronco soccer. We'll hold our pre-season team camp the week before spring break March 16-19 at the stadium (3-4:30pm), you can sign up HERE (this is weather pending of course). There will be optional open gyms over spring break in the final week of March, before our first day of tryouts on Monday, March 30th, which means it's once again time for Lady Bronco soccer! Until then, stay fit, stay healthy, and be ready for some vengeance in 2026 ladies. Contact Coach Jung or Coach Del Ponte with questions, the season will be here before you know it... go Broncos!
Several "Firsts" for Broncos but Heartbreak Again in the Sectionals
The 2025 varsity Bronco season brought about many impressive achievements for UG, including a fourth-straight Southern Lakes Conference title and their sixth in the last seven seasons. The Broncos also earned their first-ever #1 state ranking in mid May, the first for any soccer team (boys or girls) all-time, followed soon after by their first-ever #1 seed in the WIAA state playoffs. Further, a record 8 lady Broncos earned post-season awards to conclude the season, adding to the lore of the Union Grove soccer program. Still, the WIAA Sectionals left the Broncos heartbroken once again, as an incredible string of unfortunate circumstances saw them Fall to DeForest 0-2 and end their historic season short of the state's final weekend. "At this point we've accomplished all there is to accomplish accept that one Great feat... it's still out there, that trip to state. Just need the right group and the right moment, and it will happen" commented Coach Jung this off-season. The Broncos will return their entire back line, goalkeeper, and two key midfielders in 2026, and with a talented freshman class the Broncos will look to rise from the ashes of 2025's heartbreak and take the next step. Good luck ladies, and go Broncos!
