History of the Ringwood Rovers Soccer Club
The Ringwood Rovers soccer club was founded in 1991 due to the initiative of Ringwood resident Bryan Ward. Ward, a former Franklin Lakes Braves player, began a men’s soccer program in Ringwood after the Braves team was disbanded. The Rovers name was taken from one used by many British teams, most notably the Blackburn Rovers.
Youth travel soccer programs have been in place in Ringwood for many years under the jurisdiction of both Ringwood Recreation and as a private entity. In 1996, the Ringwood Rovers officially incorporated the youth travel teams into their organization. The recipients of many league championships and tournament victories, the teams have benefited from the strong support of the parents, coaches, volunteers, and the Ringwood Rovers Soccer Auxiliary.
