About FC Ambush Youth Club

learn from the pros

FC Ambush launched in 2025 to provide youth soccer players a new avenue to hone their skills and learn from the professionals that they see on the pitch for the St. Louis Ambush. Our goal is to provide a fun, but competitive environment for kids to grow as people and soccer players.

The Club is led by Director James Thomas (or "JT" as we call him), a nine-year veteran of the St. Louis Ambush and the MASL. JT played club soccer in England for Scunthorpe United FC for the U15, U16, U18 and reserve teams. He played collegiately at Missouri State University where he helped them to two regular season conference championships and was named in the 11-man Missouri Valley Conference all-freshman team of the year.

In addition to being led by pros, FC Ambush players receive additional perks:

• Opportunity to serve as Ball Kids for USL League 2 FC Ambush games
• Free St. Louis Ambush season tickets for all youth club players
