LA United was a bit of a disaster. Only had 2 "practices" and one tournament in Houston where the girls teams got smoked for most of the weekend, although I believe one of the younger boys teams did well. Very disorganized, and compared to LA ODP it was light years behind in structure and what you got for your money.

They are applying to be part of something called the Premier Soccer League, which are teams from LA and MS. The LA teams seem to be the ones that aren't in LSA, although it looks like Ascension is doing double duty.

As a BRSC parent, I hope that this is a viable club that at the least will shake some things up at BRSC and get them to reassess how they are ultimately developing players and maximizing talent. I think any kid not on a Black team at BRSC should at least keep an eye on what Orlando is doing. Maybe not jump the first year, because it could wind up crashing and burning, but if he can make it work for a season or 2 it will be interesting to see how it hits the numbers at Burbank.

BRSC is asleep at the wheel and has been for a few years. They absolutely do not push players. They make no phone calls on behalf of the top players. I know brsc had 3 kids at a pdp last year and it was only because they were recommended by other clubs.

That’s what I was thinking. Those kids who don’t make BRSC Black May go over there. But I’d give it two years minimum before making any move to make sure it doesn’t crash and burn. Like you, I have a kid in BRSC and welcome the competition hoping it’ll light a fire under BRSC.

The premier soccer league (PSL) is us club soccer's version of the gulf south premier league (GSPL). The teams in the PSL and GSPL are also members of their state institutions and play league games in their states. These are just a second league teams play in.

La fire, brsc, Mandeville, and CSC are all in the GSPL. Dynamo, jesters, Slidell (and some others) are in PSL.
