The impact that truly matters most for young athletes growing up is this right here! Coach Tessa coached our 2013 girls the last 3 years and was able to have them be her flower girls in her wedding!

@howielindsey We played last year. Once again, we want to play KPL. But when there are 4 other major clubs in the state not playing, the competition is not as good. Additionally, it was being used against our kids/teams in recruitment of them saying “You’re just playing on a KPL team”

[Corey Johnson @cjvol1]

@howielindsey What age?

[Corey Johnson @cjvol1]

@howielindsey It’s tough for us because we have very good players and teams and we are now forced to travel all over in order to find good competition.

[Corey Johnson @cjvol1]

@howielindsey Howie- You are spot on with your assessment. The crazy thing is that it was this way as recently as 6 years ago. The bad news is that it is not going to change any time soon :( Feel free to reach out anytime and I will share with you how we got to this point.

[Corey Johnson @cjvol1]

@howielindsey It would have been easy to do this but we continue to do whatever we can to tell parents and players that you can still reach a high level without paying $15,000 a year

[Corey Johnson @cjvol1]

@howielindsey A bigger part is some of the clubs that remained with US Youth Soccer, ours included, were basically told to “Know your role” in the soccer community.
