Doug WadeWith the NWSL schedule out and MLS in preseason, I’m thinking about the coming soccer season, and curious what it will be like for my local USL2 and USLW teams. I suspect they’ll play through the World Cup; last USLW season was from 5/4 - 6/29. Maybe those games will be empty because there’s just too much soccer going on? Or maybe full of traveling fans sampling the local soccer culture and local World Cup boycotters jonesing for a fix?

So excited about the new #BallardFC #USLW team coming on 2025 that I asked #genai to generate some jersey renders and team names. My favorite so far is the Ballard Breakers (rip Boston Breakers) and this jersey render.
Stefanyikes!
I've never heard of this website but they seem to have USLW games and right now some nwsl teams are playing them?

EDIT: OOooh.. it's the NC Courage u23 team? I didn't know they had one but that makes more sense.
thewrightmattWell having moved to a city without an MLS team just means I get to support local soccer via the USL-W in this case. First game and personally happy to see a good turnout (on the side not in the picture) #USLW #SupportLocalSoccer
Abby CroftonAt a #USLW game, support #WomensSoccer!
Jeff SmickPretty excited about this.
The Soul and Roots organization is fantastic. The games are fun, diverse, and really energetic.
They just opened up a community funding round and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to invest.

I suspect the club would move from Interbay to Starfire, which would completely cut them off from the community -- I never attended a #ReignFC game while they were there, for instance.
For me, #USL1 <-> #USLC makes a lot of sense, as does #USLW <-> #USLS, but looking at the reality of how hard it will be for #BallardFC just to appear in the #OpenCup, I can't imagine what promotion from semi-pro to fully pro is supposed to even look like.
