After a rough 2020 we head into 2021 a little more optomistic that local soccer will be played this season. Last year the NPSL and USL League Two cancelled their seasons and the newly created Midwest Premier League cancelled what was to be their inaugural season as well. However now that league is thriving with a total of 20 clubs stretching from Eastern Michigan to Western Iowa.
We spoke with Union club President Cliff Conrad about the club and what they’re doing to make themselves unique and to grow in the landscape.
