UNIFORM UPDATE
If you have a new FOSC team starting play in the fall or have picked up players that are new to FOSC you will need to contact Soccer Village for uniform orders. I received confirmation from Soccer Village that Nike still show a good stock in both the white and red jerseys and red shorts. Nike stopped production of this uniform June 1st so do not wait too long to get your orders in. Orders need to be in by June 22 for delivery before the season starts! U9 and younger may still play in numbered FOSC t-shirts also available at Soccer Village. U10 and above teams only need to purchase either a Red or White jersey as part of the team kit and use a numbered FOSC t-shirt as an alternate jersey. These decisions should be made on a team by team basis.

The group code for Soccer Village is FOSC08.

RHODIS NAMED TO TOP U.S. POSITION 6/11/09 - The United States National Arena Soccer Team (USNAST) announced today the appointment of FOSC Director of Coaching Craig Rhodis as its new Head Coach. Rhodis replaces Bernie Lilavois,20the original coach of the USNAST, who guided the team to a 2-4 record highlighted by a runner up finish in the 2008 Torneo Internacional de Futbol Rapido. Lilavois also earned six caps as a player and had five goals and six assists. "We want to thank Bernie for all his hard work in putting together the first USNAST roster and representing the team and the US in a positive fashion," said PASL-Pro Commissioner and FIFRA Vice President Kevin Milliken. "We wish Bernie well in his future endeavors." The PASL-Pro owners recently voted for a two year term limit on the Head Coach position, meaning Rhodis could lead the USNAST through 2010. His selection was not a difficult one. Rhodis led 1790 Cincinnati to a league-best 13-3 record and won the PASL-Pro Coach of the Year Award before 1790 fell to the Stockton Cougars in the finals of the North American Championships. Rhodis, who will turn 36 later this month, has played with the Cincinnati Silverbacks (NPSL), Cincinnati Cheetahs (USL), Cincinnati Riverhawks (A League), Lafayette Swampcats (EISL), and was a player/coach with the Lafayette Lightning (USL). Craig also played with the Portland Pythons and Utah Freezz (WISL). Recently, Craig served as a player/coach for the Cincinnati Excite (AISL) for two years. He will be gin his second season as 1790 coach in October. Rhodis is formulating a USNAST roster for the next international event, which will20be announced in the near future. "Now that we have a full PASL-Pro season to look back on," said Rhodis, "I want to build the team with a squad of deserving players who love the game and have the enthusiasm to represent the league and their country." Tacoma Stars coach Greg Howes and St. Louis Illusion coach Jamie Swanner will remain as assistants. "What Craig did with 1790 last year was quite impressive," said Milliken. "They were the top defensive team and lead on special teams on both power plays and penalty killing. We feel he can take the USNAST to the next level." Congratulations Craig from the entire FOSC family! For Craig's full bio go to "ABOUT" section of this website.
