In this episode, i’m highlighting a soccer club in the DMV (D.C., Maryland Virginia - NOT THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES). Frederick Skyline C.F. competes in the UPSL, which is in the 4th tier of the American Soccer Pyramid. I speak with owner of the club, Joel Ramirez, who talks about his journey in starting a new soccer club. He's also president of Skyline Soccer Union, an organization that makes soccer affordable for the youth.

There were some technical difficulties on the video side of things, but the audio was still perfect - SO WE KEEP ROLLLLING ON! Enjoy 🙌 ⚽️
