New soccer club in BR

My wife saw something on Facebook about a new club in BR for kids ages 3-19 called the Gulf Coast league that’s affiliated with the Dallas Texans. Anyone know anything about it? Tryouts at Jefferson Baptist in a few weeks. I guess it’ll compete with BRSC?

Gulf South Texans. Orlando Cervantes is the director.
I would make sure you do some research on it before you pull that trigger. Orlando has been bouncing around a bit in the last few years. He used to be the director of LSA's ODP program. He was fired 2 years ago and immediately started the Louisiana United last year in competition with ODP. I heard it failed badly. Now, he's started up the Texans. I'm not sure where they are going to train.
Not saying he won't succeed. But, it takes a LOT more than a club name and a supportive parent entity to succeed as an alternative club in a smallish market like BR. Where are the coaches coming from?
Also, it's not affiliated with the LSA...so no "league" games. Not sure what that means...but, I'm guessing they will be a tournament program.
