re: New soccer club in BR

Independence and Burbank are brec parks right?

It would cost them an arm and a leg, but a partnership with Traction would go a long way for this start-up. It would give them immediate legitimacy from a PR perspective and that type of affiliation would, on its face, tell the public that they are legit and not some fly by night. That would be very expensive and probably not realistic, so if I were them I’d visit Rev Swaggart and see about using his fields for training and games. Hell, maybe even utilize that big gym (Exerfit?) for training purposes as well. It would cost them but not as much as Traction.

I believe the Futsal was supposed to be played on the basketball courts at the Perkins Sportsplex/Skate Park

As far as Traction goes, there is somewhat of a relationship with BRSC, although unofficially I guess. Couple of the owners daughters are on 07 Black team, and I know a few of the Black teams will practice there indoors when weather closes down Burbank.

Our player placement will look somewhat different from the usual process. Instead we will maintain our summer training schedule and conduct our player placement evaluation/assessment during the week of June 22-26. Based on numbers in some cases, this will look similar to our spring supplement player placement, where we are only adding players based on available spots per team. Please keep in mind that current LSA guidelines will only allow us to have a group of 10 players (NO games, scrimmages, jamboree, etc.) during this period

Our objective in these times of uncertainty with work, school, sport, etc., is to maintain our current teams AS IS. To this end, we are asking players/families to consider utilizing the LSA approved “Club Early Registration” option (see details below). The early registration option will allow for a returning player/family to secure their spot on their current team/club any time from the present to June 15 if they so desire. A returning player who registers by June 15 will NOT have to register for player placement nor attend the player placement sessions during the evaluation week of June 22-26

I've spoken/texted with probably 20 parents of Red/Maroon level players on various age groups over the last week. There are a lot of disgruntled people at there at the perceived "protection" the Black teams are getting, especially this year. I think Orlando is going to have a lot of kids interested in his tryout/club this year, more so than any other

Why would the Black parents be frustrated? I figure Orlando will get plenty of Red and Maroon kids. Anything that makes BRSC up their game is fine with me:

Everyone but bottom black players should be frustrated as the normal relegation and promotion of bottom black and top red isn’t happening.

You, actually, should be the one doing the research.

Considering I was there for every practice and game that my kids team has had, I’m pretty confident in my info. But thanks for joining just in time for Texans tryouts

I don't believe all of their age groups were able to complete 2nd round of tryouts with the weather starting Sunday, I believe they have some reschedules coming up. I heard they had decent turnout for the younger girls age groups, not sure about older or any boys

It will be interesting to see if they get any traction from the fact that LSA seems hell bent on doing every thing they can to keep clubs from getting back to normal, while non-LSA clubs are apparently free to operate as normal. Will some kids jump ship just because they think their LSA club might not have a normal season? Time will tell

Orlando is a snake in the grass. Trust me on that.
