Non-league soccer is refreshing. When you’re used to this over-commercialized game of ours, taking it back to the basics is a welcome departure from the norm. When you’re a punk rocker and your team is named Bearfight FC, well, that’s just beautiful.

Below is our unedited, open and honest conversation with about the motivations for starting the club, the difficulties of non-league soccer and the belief that “I know anytime I’m here, I’m with my family.”
