February 06, 2023 by Joshua Duder

“Community members spoke of creating a brand that thrived on unity through the power of unique individuals.

“During our struggles early in the season we still took the 2nd place and 3rd place teams to close matches with only one goal differences in both. With only 4 matches left in the season, we really hit our stride with 3 wins in those last 4.

“En mi opinión, el principal diferenciador es definir de qué se tratará su club de fútbol y cómo se relaciona con su comunidad. Si buscas ser poco sincero, tu comunidad se dará cuenta rápidamente y no lo apoyarán. Tu club tiene que soportar más de 11 jugadores en el campo con una pelota.”
