Today we open with some stadium news coming out of the south, starting in North Carolina. The North Carolina Courage are trying to upgrade their stadium situation, claiming the WakeMed Soccer Park is not cutting it anymore. While owner Steve Malik says relocation isn’t on the table, yet, why should we here at Morning Kickaround believe him considering how he’s handled his men’s team? Kei Velmer then joins the show to talk about access to youth soccer and how to make a system that works better for more people. Kai is the Executive Director of the United Soccer Association in Florida, where he has helped build a robust youth system with over 40 teams and promotion and relegation between divisions. Finally, the stadium project in Melbourne, Florida took a nice step forward after securing a real estate deal for their stadium site. Check out the show live Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:30 AM ET on YouTube where you can join the channel and become an MK Ultra.
