Rocket City United hits the road tomorrow to open the 2011 season against one of three new teams in the Southeast Region, the Knoxville Force. The Force will play their inaugural game in University of Tennessee's Regal Stadium. Don't expect a beautiful game during this one. Neither team will be at full strength and each will likely try to grind out a results until their full complement of players arrive in the next few weeks.
RCU has made seats available on the team bus for fans who would like travel to the game. This is a unique experience in sports and any fan interested should contact Director of Operations Jan Henner for more details.
NPSL Technical Director Matt Driver will participate in the International Alliance Symposium hosted by the Jamiacain Premeier League Clubs Association. "The mission is to have the top U-21 players from both of our leagues have access to different markets, different stages to play on," says Driver. Hmm, I wonder what this is about. A player sharing scheme? An international competition between the leagues?
