"Having been a high-level athlete at both the collegiate (UC Davis wrestling) and professional (UFC) level I understand how important youth development is on the total journey of an athlete. Teaming with Gavin, who has experienced a similar journey in the soccer world (Bradley University, MLS), will be a perfect blend. Team Alpha MMA has been one of the best teams in the world of Mixed Martial Arts for over a decade and a half. Without great mentorship, total attention to all aspects of the game, and an amazing culture, success at the highest level would not be possible. The new partnership with Sac United soccer club and KIME PT is huge for our community at Ultimate Fitness. We love seeing like-minded goals and visions of the future come together. Our world class facility and the staff can’t wait to be part of the Sac United and extended family‘s continued journey into high-performance youth Development."

"Sacramento United is thrilled to have the ability to work in a world class performance environment alongside Urijah and Team Alpha MMA, whose present and past are second to none, yet also share a similar culture, humility, ambition, and passion for the Greater Sacramento community. We know that this partnership not only greatly enhances the holistic development of our players, it fills an often overlooked dynamic of youth soccer in this country.

Combining this program with our new player passport software (XPS) we will give every player in the Club the skills and guidance they need to work part of this program at home; including video workouts in addition to the multi-weekly in person training this partnership will provide. This is another major step forward for Sac United's continued commitment to providing a top class performance environment for our community and players."
