Edward and Gail Bradley Family Soccer Field

Help celebrate a coach whose legacy helped define Rhode Island men's soccer.

For 17 seasons, Ed Bradley built a tradition of excellence at the University of Rhode Island. As the all-time winningest head coach in Rhody men's soccer history, he led the Rams to 192 victories, 10 Atlantic 10 titles, and six NCAA Championship appearances. But his impact extends far beyond the scoreboard.

Bradley's legacy is woven into the history of URI soccer. A two-time Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year, he led the Rams to a program-record 19 wins in 1995, finishing with a 19-2-2 record and a .826 winning percentage that remains the highest single-season mark in program history. His teams achieved double-digit victories in 10 seasons, establishing a standard of achievement that continues to inspire.

His influence also lives on through the players he mentored. Among them are current URI head coach Gareth Elliott, who played for Bradley and has continued to build on his mentor's success, and two players who went on to the World Cup stage. Bradley's own sons, Brian and Michael, also wore the Rhody uniform under his leadership.

Now, we have an opportunity to honor the coach who helped shape this program by naming the soccer field in his honor.

Your gift will help make this tribute possible, recognizing the Bradley family's extraordinary contributions to Rhody soccer and ensuring that Ed Bradley's name remains part of the place where future generations of Rams will compete, grow, and make history.

Give today to help name the field in honor of the Bradley Family.

Thank you to the family and friends of Edward and Gail Bradley for their initial contribution of $250,000 in support of the project.
