Shark Coast FC is stepping up to honor the everyday heroes who keep our communities safe. The USL League Two club will host a special First Responders Night on Friday, May 30, at the New Smyrna Beach Sports Complex in Volusia County, offering free admission and a heartfelt recognition ceremony for local law enforcement, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, dispatchers, and other first responders.

The action kicks off during Shark Coast FC’s match against Brooke House Football Club, but the real stars of the night will be the men and women who serve on the front lines. All first responders will receive free entry with a valid ID, making it easy for them and their families to enjoy an evening of soccer and community celebration.

“First responders are the people who show up for our community on its hardest days,” said Nate Monsanto of Shark Coast FC. “This night is about showing our appreciation and giving them a fun, family-friendly environment where they can be recognized and celebrated.”

Presented in partnership with AdventHealth, the event promises more than just a game. Organizers are planning a special first responder recognition ceremony, along with activities for youth athletes and families, creating a festive atmosphere that brings the entire community together. The New Smyrna Beach Sports Complex, located at 2335 Sunset Drive, will be the perfect backdrop for this meaningful tribute.

Whether you're a soccer fan or simply want to support those who protect and serve, this is a night you won’t want to miss. So grab your gear, bring your family, and join Shark Coast FC in celebrating the true champions of Volusia County.
