Hello. This is SportHUB, and welcome to another article, where today we’ll talk about Black Rock FC, who are the PDL’s newest nember, in the fourth tier of American soccer.

Black Rock FC were founded in 2013, and are located in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, on the opposite end of the state as New England, where there’s the New England Revolution of the MLS, Boston City of the NPSL, and FC Boston of this league. They were founded last year in a merger, where they played in a lower-tiered league.

Their founders were Jon Moodey, Mark Gillon, & Rich Powell. Moodey owned Black Rock already, while the other two founded programs to help expand soccer around their area.

One of their main goals is to grow soccer and produce amazing players. They’ve produced an amazing one already, and that player is Jack Harrison, believe it or not. They try to build that goal around him and even have an annual day of celebrating him every year, which takes place on September 23rd.

The PDL season starts on May 4th, near the time of the annual US Open Cup. However, Black Rock begin play weeks after the start of the season, because of varied amount of games from different divisions and conferences. Black Rock play in the Northeast Division with 6 other teams, so they should have 12 games in a near 3-month span.

Anyway, what do you guys think about this new expansion team? Where will they finish in the regular season? Or the playoffs, but will they make it? How will they do in the Open Cup? Personally, I think they could maybe make the playoffs, with their minds focusing on developing fresh new players.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this article. This is SportHUB, and I am out!
