A Brief History

The Ragain Family was awarded a United Soccer League franchise on December 5, 2013, with plans to begin play in 2015. The team's name, the "Switchbacks", was announced on January 31, 2014 following a fan contest. 

In 2019 the United Soccer League pro level rebranded as United Soccer League Championship. 

In 2021 the Switchbacks rebranded by simplifying the original logo and colors.
