Minneapolis City SC Joins NPSL’s Midwest Region’s North Conference
Minneapolis City SC has been named as the NPSL’s latest expansion club set to kick off the 2017 season. Founded as an extension of Stegman’s Soccer Club, 14-time Minnesota amateur champions and nine-time Minnesota Cup winners, City exclusively fields players who call Minnesota home.
A strong community focus includes specific outreach to and financial support of players, outreach to inner communities, and engagement with urban youth clubs.
NPSL Soccer News: The National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) has announced Minneapolis City SC (Minneapolis, MN) as its latest expansion club set to compete in the Midwest Region’s North Conference.
“We are very excited to add to our league’s footprint in Minnesota,” NPSL Chairman Joe Barone commented. “Minneapolis City SC brings a proven brand and a strong following to our Midwest Region. They represent a great start to our announcement of the newly rebranded North Conference.”
Minneapolis City SC is led by Managing Director Dan Hoedeman, Sporting Director Jon Bisswurm, Business Director Sarah Schreier, Community Director Nick Sindt and head coach Adam Pribyl.
Hoedeman is a Minneapolis native and lifelong soccer player who works in the advertising business. Bisswurm played at Kaiserslautern in Germany before returning to the United States. He is currently undefeated as a coach during Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup play. Sindt rounds out the group and will lead the club’s community outreach sector.
Schreier is a visionary and creative thinker who was a standout youth player at Minneapolis suburban club PSA. An acclaimed goalkeeper at St John’s, Pribyl is now the athletic director at Minneapolis’ DeLaSalle High School.
“We bring a lot of passion, a fantastically talented set of players, and a weirdly successful social media game that has significantly raised interest in this level of soccer in Minnesota,” Hoedeman added. “Hopefully that gets soccer in the North a little more recognition nationally.”
Minneapolis City SC is a supporter-owned club that is committed to developing Minnesota’s top amateur players by providing a platform to compete on a national level. Often called ‘the people’s club,” city is the result of hard work and dedication from a large cross-section of Minneapolitans who see soccer as a way to impact their community.
“We want to create a platform for Minnesota’s top amateur players to develop and showcase their talents,” Hoedeman concluded. “We’re a small state soccer-wise, but the talent is here and we want to test ourselves at a national level.”
