Little Rock Rangers SC

Jonathan Wardlaw is the founder and owner of Little Rock Rangers SC.

The LR Rangers currently compete in USL2. Home matches are played at historic War Memorial Stadium in the heart of Little Rock and boast one of the highest fan attendances in minor league soccer. Many players still compete at the college level, therefore the team is entirely amateur in order to preserve college players’ NCAA eligibility. The conference season is 10 weeks, running from May through July, with friendlies, tournaments, and playoffs extending from April and to August. In 2018, the Rangers were National Premier Soccer League South Region Finalists after having a 7-3 season.

When the Little Rock Rangers launched in 2015, part of the club’s mission statement included improving youth soccer in the Little Rock and greater central Arkansas area. The club is making a large step towards meeting that goal with the Little Rock Rangers Academy. Our Little Rock Youth Soccer Academy focuses on a more year-round training experience for players who are committed in order to accelerate their development. The Rangers Academy is led by former professional and international soccer player and coach, Ante Jazic.
