Disclaimer: This is lower-league US soccer. Messy, complicated and unclear. Nothing is ever truly guaranteed. However, this is my best guess. Hello guys, we will be playing in the ASL2 division of the American Soccer League  during Summer 2016. Before the detailed waffle, this is how ASL was described in an expansion release last year: American Professional Soccer (APS)  is the parent company of American Soccer League (ASL).  The APS founders’ vision is to have APS as a sanctioned professional league under USSF when the proper protocols and procedures have been established to fit under the Division 3 USSF guidelines.   In the meantime, ASL is the subsidiary of the APS and will play as a sanctioned league in the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA).   Source:  http://massunitedfc.com/mass-united-to-join-asl/#.VV5zelRGh5Q That meantime appears to include the hitherto professional only ASL developing this second division as a purely amateur operation - one where pla

Are you ready to bring the noise, Green Army? The squad has been named , and they will roll into Cichy Stadium at Shanley High for the Green & Gold intra-squad scrimmage match on June 20th.

I also found guys with ties to Minnesota State University Moorhead , Concordia College  and Moorhead High School , where we will begin play for the 2015 season, Fargo Davies and West Fargo High in the immediate area.
