Once I started to look into the UPSL I thought 'This will be great for us' here. The UPSL is an organized league and at the end of the day it's about giving players a chance to progress through a soccer system here in the United States and the UPSL is doing that. I mean, look at what Florida Tropics just did. They're our next-door neighbors and they just won the whole thing, so that's motivation right there."
