Dear Parents,
Thank you for taking an interest in our team! As stated on the NCSL webpage, my name is Keow (pronounced "Gow") Essig and I have been a BRYC coach for 10 years and I have the National D coaching license from US Soccer. This team can only accept players born in 2009 and later. If your child was born in 2008, your child is too old for this team. Please contact me at
brycdragons@gmail.com and I can try to direct you to another team.
In my coaching experience, I have found that the best mix of players are those that a) listen well, b) work hard, and c) really enjoy the team. I do consider talent as well but without the previous characteristics, talent cannot endure. These traits not only help bring about a positive morale but it also pulls our team together, creating strong bonds.
Please complete the following survey. It will help us get to know your child better. Additionally, we would like to get a head count for each tryout so that I can plan practices appropriately to help us know if the fit works for both your child and for our team.
Thank you again for your consideration and looking forward to meeting your child on the pitch!
