2025 Season Update

Dec 27th, 2024

Dear Rising Community,

As you may know, Rising has made the difficult decision to pause our on-field operations for the 2025 PUL season. This decision reflects our need for new leadership and a more sustainable structure to support the team’s long-term growth and success.

This is not the end of Rising—it’s a pause. We believe this break will give us the space to rebuild and come back stronger. Rising has always been about more than the games we play; it’s about the community we’ve built, the passion we share, and the potential we have to grow into something even greater.

Though we won’t take the field in 2025, the Rising vision remains strong. We are exploring ways to stay engaged with our local community during this time and are actively planning for a return in 2026. If you’re interested in contributing to this next phase, we’d love to hear from you!

Thank you for being part of this community and for making Rising what it is.

Keep Rising!
