About Me

The Virginia Beach Mariners are an American soccer club, who currently play in the USL First Division of the United Soccer Leagues, the second division in the US Soccer hierarchy behind Major League Soccer.

The Mariners currently play in the Virginia Beach Sportsplex in Virginia Beach, Virginia, where they have played since 1999.

The team was founded in 1994 as the Hampton Roads Hurricanes, but they changed their name to Mariners after the first year. For the 2003 season, the team changed their name from Hampton Roads Mariners to the more widely recognizable Virginia Beach Mariners.

The team went on a one year hiatus in 1997, after which they joined the A-League. They are currently owned by Mike Field, and their head coach is Jay Hoffman.

For 2006, the Mariners are adding a USL Premier Development League club, the Virginia Beach Submariners. MyGen Profile Generator
