The professional side played four seasons in the USL Second Division before competing in the Premier Development League in 1999 and 2000. After its professional operations ceased, the organization focused on youth player development.
In 2026, the club returned to pre-professional league competition, entering men's and women's teams in USL League Two and the USL W League. Both teams compete in the Heartland Division of the Central Conference.
