A Higher Level of the World’s Game is Coming to Knoxville in 2011

 

"The National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) has granted an expansion territory to the newly organized Knoxville Force soccer team (www.knoxvilleforce.com) to play its inaugural season in the NPSL’s Southeast Region Conference beginning in May of 2011.

 

The highly competitive national league includes, U.S. National Team, university, former professional, amateur and international soccer players. The NPSL is sanctioned by the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA) as an affiliate of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF), the ruling body for soccer in the United States, and Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the world’s ruling body for soccer. Teams that played in NPSL’s Southeast Region Conference in 2010 include Atlanta FC, Chattanooga FC, Pumas FC (Birmingham), Rocket City United (Huntsville), and Tulsa FC.

 

The formal NPSL season starts mid-May and concludes with playoffs and regional and national championship matches at the end of July. Each team plays a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 16 regular season games. The Knoxville Force will play at the Regal Stadium on the campus of the University of Tennessee during its inaugural season.

 

The General Manager for Knoxville Force will be Jason Goss, a former soccer standout at CAK who was named an all-Knoxville Interscholastic League (KIL) player. Goss graduated with a Bachelor in Business Administration degree from Elon University in North Carolina and dual Masters degrees in Business Administration and Sports Administration from Ohio University. He has worked with the professional Italian soccer team, Ascoli Calcio, and for Major League Soccer at its headquarters in New York.

.

 

Knoxville Force is currently interviewing candidates for its head coaching position. “We have begun the process of attracting a highly qualified coach to Knoxville,†said Goss. “Our interviews to date have included some outstanding candidates who have tremendous experience coaching high level soccer teams nationally and internationally. We plan to announce our selection for coach in January.â€

 

 

 

 

The team roster formation process is underway and will conclude with player tryouts in February and March. Experienced players who are interested in being a part of the Knoxville Force should email players@knoxvilleforce.com.

The Knoxville Force is owned by Knoxville Soccer LLC, which plans to also establish a women’s soccer team, the Knoxville Lady Force, in the 2012 season. The mission of Knoxville Soccer LLC is to serve as a focal point for social change by offering soccer programs and projects that enhance the health and well-being of a broad and diverse population of the Knoxville community. “We view soccer as a powerful venue for developing self- esteem, self-confidence, leadership skills, teamwork, respect for others, and the inherent benefits of physical exercise,†noted Goss.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
