ILM Football Club

No fall season for ILM FC in 2026.

This wasn’t an easy decision. But building something real takes time, intention, and the right foundation. We’re committed to doing this the right way.

Three seasons of memories. Countless battles. A city starting to believe.

We’re not going anywhere. We’re just getting ready.

Some players fill a role.
Sam Burton fills a room.

Three seasons. Here since Day One. The kind of captain his teammates look to when it matters — not because he demands it, but because he’s earned it.

By day he’s shaping the next generation as a Health and PE teacher at the very school ILM FC calls their training home. On the pitch he’s everywhere — first to the ball, first in the air, and last to quit.

He came from Baltimore. He chose to stay.

Some players want the spotlight.
Matt Baker lets it find him.

Three seasons. Here since the beginning. The last line of defense and one of the first people his teammates turn to.

By day he’s an AEMT — serving his community when it matters most. On the pitch he’s been ILM FC’s goalkeeper since the very first whistle. Off it, he’s developing the next generation of goalkeepers and giving back to the city that raised him.

That’s not a coincidence. That’s character.
